Who will the San Jose Sharks take at No. 11 in the 2022 NHL Draft?

I spoke with two NHL scouts from outside organizations to get a temperature check, post Draft-lottery, about a month and a half away from Jul. 7 and the first round in Montreal.

There are six prospects that these two scouts agreed would not be there for the Sharks at No. 11: Forwards Shane Wright, Logan Cooley, Juraj Slavkofsky, and Cutter Gauthier, and defensemen Simon Nemec and David Jiricek.

Beyond that, highly-ranked forwards Joakim Kemell and Matthew Savoie could drop, but probably not all the way to San Jose.

One scout selected 5-foot-10 center Frank Nazar from the USNTDP for the San Jose Sharks.

“I can’t see Savoie dropping past the top-10. Kemell either. I would take Kemell over Savoie,” the scout noted. “I think Lekkerimaki, Nazar, and [Conor] Geekie will be there at No. 11. If you’re going forward, Nazar.”
