San Jose's putting on a clinic right now for how to accumulate picks and draft for a rebuild. It'll be interesting to see if they can take care of the second part and come out of the rebuild.

Yeah, I think the fans have been thrilled with what Grier has done for the most part. Like you said, the next big question is: can he actually build a competitive team? And can our staff develop our up and coming prospects?

We're hoping. Depends on how many of these picks hit.

Fun fact: Dima Zhilkin, who scores first in the clip, is acting as translator for Igor. Dima is the younger brother of Danny Zhilkin (Jets prospect). Dima is going to be another really good prospect down the line. Late birthday so won't go til 2027. Small right now but should fill out. Danny is 6' 1" now. Tons of skill.

I was wondering if (and hoping) that there was a Russian on the team that Igor could hang out with.

I wouldn't say the Sharks 2022 Draft was great. Bystedt looks decent but unspectacular in the A, Lund has been fine in the NCAA, may never be a high impact NHLer, and Havelid doesn't look like an NHLer right now with how he's done in the SHL and Allsvenskan. I would have taken Howard, Casey, & Hutson in the Sharks' slots. They might not get a high impact NHLer from their 2022 Draft.

In regards to Chernyshov, his performances in a limited sample have been very encouraging, even though it's junior and he's in his 19 year old season.

Sure that's fair but it goes to show that even with that draft the sharks probably still have the best set of prospects from those 3 drafts overall and amplifies how good their last 2 drafts look right now.

For the 22 draft I only have Bystedt and Lund projecting as possible NHLers and they are probably 7th and 8th behind players from the past 2 drafts.
