The NHL Draft Lottery is approaching, and San Jose Sharks player Macklin Celebrini highlights its significance for the teamâs future. The Sharks, who ended the season with a poor 20-50-12 record, have a 25.5% chance of winning the lottery. Winning could allow them to draft defenseman Matthew Schaefer, ranked as the top North American skater, despite his injury. If they don't win, alternatives include several forwards like Michael Misa and others, as the team seeks impactful players for their rebuild.
"That's the future of our organization, and something that affects all of us, so I'm going to be paying attention to it."
"A draft lottery win by the Sharks this year would allow them to select Erie Otters defenseman Matthew Schaefer, the projected top-pair blueliner."
