Trades

SJS

Macklin Celebrini

A potential franchise Center. Arguably slightly underrated due to Bedard just going 1st overall, Macklin has the potential to be nearly as impactful for San Jose as Bedard as been for Chicagos rebuild.

ANA

2024 1st round pick (SJS)

SJS

Potentially 11-18th overall, I don’t expected the Pens to go on a run, but if they do good for them.

“Worst case - which is still fantastic” is Brandsegg-Nygard, Iginla, Greentree, Jiricek or Yamachek ; all amazing players I want.

Potential best case/ BPA is Buium.

Either way the Sharks should be very pleased, and not overthink the pick.

ANA

2024 1st round pick (PIT)

SJS

33rd has a lot of potential for San Jose.
I argue they swing here, and go for EJ Emery.

40-60
I would say an even more interesting development is picking EJ, then picking Cole Hutson - giving the Sharks a real incredible top 4 class.

ANA

2024 2nd round pick (SJS)
2024 2nd round pick (NJD)

SJS

Can Grier collect another first or 2nd, + more from these assets?

Granlund had the best value but he’s hurt so it way to early to keep guessing what his value is at TDL until he’s back and he requires retention to get the most value in the return.
Kaapo has potential to return some great value.

If the Sharks can get another first or 2nd they can target an even deeper addition to their class.

Kähkönen, Kaapo

SJS

2024 2nd round pick (BOS)

Additional Details:

Let’s just spit ball here and say the Sharks collect a 2nd + Prospect + 3rd in total value as a decent assumption but they could get a first in a fleecing or cap dump acquisition.

Here I’m going to just get a 2nd and select a player I’d like.

Additional Details:

Can the Sharks use Ferraro a draft day trade?
Let’s be optimistic and say they can get the first they’re reportedly only looking for.

Hope the Devils make the ECF. Put them in a good spot with 3 1sts (assuming the Pens don't bottom out into a top 10 pick).

Could definitely be an all-time draft for the Sharks franchise. That said, you caveat best case scenario everywhere but getting Celebrini. Even in last place, those odds are only 1 in 4. Just ask the Ducks 😢

I assume they take Celebrini, Levshunov or Silayev top 3

After that could go either way

Would be super interesting - I’d argue they could trade down if the Devils 1st upgrades, think there’s a lot of potential in this class for two more players between 33-90 compared to one. But can’t complain either way.

Sharks fans didn’t believe they’d get Bedard - we gotta believe we’ll get Celebrini - it’s only right to believe.

It’ll be interesting to see where Levshunov goes; seen him as high as 3 with Bob but in the 20s with Ferrari.
