June 28, 2024 by Matthew Zator
With the first pick of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the San Jose Sharks have selected Macklin Celebrini from Boston University of the NCAA
About Macklin Celebrini
Macklin Celebrini has been the consensus first-overall pick for a long time now, and that dream was realized today when he was selected by the San Jose Sharks. The youngest Hobey Baker Award winner is a package of scoring, playmaking and skill capable of being a first-line center in the NHL. He controls the play every time he’s on the ice and shows a maturity and poise well beyond his years…

June 28, 2024 by Matthew Zator
With the 11th pick of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the San Jose Sharks have selected Sam Dickinson from the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
About Sam Dickinson
Sam Dickinson might be the most NHL-ready defenseman in this year’s draft class. He plays with a lot of poise and already has the defensive game figured out. He can also move the puck and add offense from the back end with his mobility and powerful shot…

Sharks Make Great Decision to Trade Up for Sam Dickinson
June 29, 2024 by Alex Hutton
The San Jose Sharks made two selections in the first round of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, but one of them arrived in San Jose in a far more roundabout manner than the other. Choosing Macklin Celebrini first overall was easy, but the Sharks’ second pick was far less defined…
San Jose Sharks Draft Igor Chernyshov 33rd Overall
June 29, 2024 by Justin Giampietro
With the 33rd pick of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the San Jose Sharks have selected Igor Chernyshov from MHK Dynamo Moskva of the Junior Hockey League (MHL) and the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)
About Igor Chernyshov
Igor Chernyshov, who split time between the MHL and KHL, showed a lot of promise in his draft year. He only had four points in the KHL over a 34-game span, but had 28 points in 22 games in the MHL, giving him the fifth-highest point-per-game total of any player in the league who played in at least 20 games. The production was there, but his on-ice play was even better…
San Jose Sharks Draft Leo Sahlin Wallenius 53rd Overall
June 29, 2024 by Eugene Helfrick
With the 53rd overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the San Jose Sharks have selected Leo Sahlin Wallenius from the Vaxjo Lakers HC J20 of the Swedish J20 Nationell
About Leo Sahlin Wallenius
If you’re looking for one of the top-scoring blueliners from the 2024 NHL Draft Class, look no further than Leo Sahlin Wallenius. The Swedish defenseman is one of the best skaters in this draft class, and he has an offensive instinct that will turn heads up and down the ice. This was on full display during the 2024 season, when he posted 42 points in 43 games played in the Swedish minor leagues. He’s also a leader who’s worn the “C” for Team Sweden at events like the U18 Five Nations Cup…
