The Shark Tank 🦈

Misa it is!

(By the way, who is Meghan Chayka? Wow!)

Dang it, I wanted Boumedienne with #30 but he went 28th

A goalie at 30. Interesting.

This first round was way too slow though. It's been over 4 hours.

A Goalie huh, didn't see that coming.
not completely sold on Askirov

Exactly! Now, a D-man tomorrow to start the 2nd Rd? Fiddler?

Waaaay too slow. Checked back four or five times and they weren't even close to the end of the 1st Rd. when the Sharks picked again.

And the awkward meeting between front office and 18 year old kid via video was hard to watch.

I don't think ravenburger will be NHL ready next year, while Askarov will be.

if you think back to when we started this run, we had Nabokov and Kippersuff, then Toskala. We traded them. This is some insurance if Askarov doesn't work out or prices himself out of our range, especially if we have to pay our skaters.

not a bad player or fit, but with defensive players on board, you'd expect one of them first.

The Sharks aren't good enough yet to do anything but go best player available. From what I read, most expected the kid to have been selected before 30 and he was the top ranked guy remaining. Seems like Grier is off to a great draft again.

He wasn't necessarily the top remaining guy but he was the top rated goalie overall and the Sharks did need another goalie to develop and he has the potential to be incredible on what right now is a very offense driven team. Also the Sharks prospect pool is VERY offense laden too and their goalies are very weak. There is really very little to criticize in the pick.

I wouldn't be surprised if Grier traded some of that high end offensive talent for some defense. But I'd still like the next pick to be a defenseman. Dickinson and Mukhamadullin are easily their top two defensive prospects and both are lefties, so maybe they'll for for a righty here? And that said Dickinson is a very offensive defenseman. There are a lot of defenders in the program but only 2 that are good enough to have clear NHL futures right now.

Fiddler is a defense first righty so he might be the pick though I slightly prefer Simon Wang's game (he's a lefty).
