Taking Buium at three is a crime against da sharks

The last thing the Sharks need is another LD. They absolutely take Levshunov or Yakemchuk if they fall to 3. Likely go for a forward with a high ceiling with their second pick. Or if they get a Center at 3 then they get the Best available RHD with their next pick, ideally with the PIT pick

It's Levshunov if we lose the lottery (NHL owes SJ one to finally give the 1st overall to us instead of rigging another Original 6 or Canadian team).

Aside from that, the key to the offseason is leveraging as much cap space as possible into as many assets as possible. Even with your lineup of 27 skaters and 3 goalies, the Sharks would still be under the lower limit of the salary cap. Ownership has never had a problem spending to the cap, so time to take on either some short term dog crap contracts for a nice fee or acquire some bargains in the trade market from teams that can't afford to keep a good player.

I think Silayev , Levshunov and Lindstrom are high on their list after Celebrini
