BREAKING: Sharks Select Artem Guryev

The San Jose Sharks have drafted Artem Guryev.

Artem Guryev is a 6-foot-3 Russian defenseman who was scheduled to play for the Peterborough Petes this season. Guryev, however, didn’t get any games because of the cancellation of the OHL season.

The San Jose Sharks selected Guryev with the 135th pick in the fifth round.

At 135, the Sharks take Peterborough Petes defenseman Artem Guryev. Big kid, physical defender who skates well and has a big point shot. With so little time spent in the OHL, his upside is the question mark. Additionally, decision making needs to improve. #NHLDraft
