What’s Best Draft Strategy for Sharks?
Kyle and Erik take a broad look at the 2021 NHL Draft to talk about different strategies that the San Jose Sharks could take with their first pick. They debate Best Player Available vs Drafting for Need in an uncertain draft, drafting for guys who could make an impact earlier (8:30), Jesper Wallstedt playing in the NHL as a 20-year-old (16:30), and when the forward prospects should make an impact (18:00). Then we look at if the San Jose Sharks should draft a defenseman (21:00), some either-or scenarios (24:00), and if the Sharks should trade back (28:00).

go with the Bill Walsh method. figure out how each player can/can’t help your team and adjust your draft board accordingly.
