Allan was traded to San Jose from the Blackhawks in the middle of the 2025-26 season.
Virtually all avenues are open to the San Jose Sharks with the second overall pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, but as they told Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Despite the fact that General Manager Mike Grier can select virtually anyone with this draft pick, there are only a handful of players that truly stand out as qualified to be selected with the second overall pick. Everyone is assuming that the Toronto Maple Leafs will select Gavin McKenna at number one ov...

The 2026 NHL Draft is less than a week away. But the last few days have thrown major wrenches into the first round order for Friday night.

With the second overall pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, the San Jose Sharks have a lot of options. We explored the possibility of San Jose picking forward Ivar Stenberg at second, and we also looked at defenseman Chase Reid in previous posts. Both of these options seem like very real possibilities, given how closely together in skill the top five or so prospects seem to be grouped. For many scouts, it’s a matter of opinion and value. Do you value skating more than shooting skills? Do you...
The San Jose Sharks narrowly missed out on the NHL playoffs this past season, thanks in large part to the offensive spark provided by 19-year-old superstar-in-the-making, Macklin Celebrini. They were ultimately left on the outside looking in, thanks to one of the league's worst defensive units, an area the Sharks' front office will be looking to improve this off-season, including entering the NHL Draft.
The San Jose Sharks have a killer group of young forwards that have made them the deepest prospect pool in the NHL. With Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, Michael Misa, Quentin Musty, Kasper Halttunen, Collin Graf, Filip Bystedt and more, the Sharks are the envy of many an NHL general manager. In the net, Yaroslav Askarov appears to be the goaltender of the future with Joshua Ravensbergen and Christian Kirsch there to catch him if he falls. What Team Teal does not have is a top-of-the-line d...
Since coming to San Jose to helm the Sharks, General Manager Mike Grier has never wavered from his promise of drafting the best player available (BPA). He’s always said that he will draft the BPA and no matter what the noise around him is, he’s stuck to that promise. It happened last season when the Sharks selected Michael Misa despite having a need for a defenseman and even more so when, with the 30th overall pick, the team selected goaltender Joshua Ravensbergen because he was next up on the...
