Sheng’s Daily: Should Sharks Pursue Athanasiou or Hinostroza?
“The biggest surprise of the 2020 NHL Draft wasn’t the Calgary Flames trading back in the first round not once, but twice, or the New Jersey Devils taking Shakir Mukhamadullin in the first 20 picks.
“No, it was San Jose Sharks director of scouting Doug Wilson Jr., and this gesture, specifically for Ozzy Wiesblatt’s mother, Kim White.”
