Erik Fowle gave the San Jose Sharks an A- grade:

Sharks draft grade: A-

-Drafted guys with upside, guys who create offense, often off the rush, who are playmakers, have vision, skill, are smart.
-Traded back/acquired additional picks in the 40-100 range
-Didn't lose value on trade up/knew it was a risk
