San Jose Sharks face a pivotal NHL Draft moment with the number nine pick—can they land a franchise-altering defenseman?

Will the high-octane offense of Rudolph elevate the Sharks’ blue line, or does Verhoeff’s raw upside and bold NCAA leap make him the ultimate swing for the future? The debate heats up as Smits' mature, shutdown play in pro leagues positions him

Jarmo Salvages a 3rd Rounder Instead of Alex Walking Away for Nothing Alex Tuch is officially not a Buffalo Sabre. The main piece in the Jack Eichel trade is now a Washington Capital, with enough money to line the Reflecting Pool in D.C. Sabres’ General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen signed Tuch to a 10.5 million, 8 year deal, a contract too rich for Buffalo’s cap crunching issues and shipped him off to Washington. Buffalo will receive a third-round draft pick for Tuch, who

Another NHL Insider is building upon the report from Nick Kypreos earlier this week that the Dallas Stars are emerging as potential frontrunners for Dylan Larkin.
While it's possible to find steals at any point in the NHL Draft, the 90th overall selection hasn't had much success historically. The Tampa Bay Lightning will look to overcome the odds and find a diamond in the rough.
The Tampa Bay Lightning will have three fifth-round picks during the 2026 NHL Draft, unless something changes between now and Saturday. Their first fifth-rounder, the 133rd overall pick, surprisingly has seen quite a bit of success historically.
While the Tampa Bay Lightning's first two fifth-round picks, 133rd and 134th overall, at the 2026 NHL Draft have historically produced reliable players, there have been very few successful NHL players drafted 154th overall.
Now that the San Jose Sharks have the 27th overall pick in this year’s first round. Their draft strategy should change a little. Michael Kesselring brings a low floor to the Sharks’ blueline, so with that in mind, high upside should be what they look for here.
While the majority of the San Jose Sharks' attention is likely focused on the first day of the 2026 NHL Draft, as they now hold three first-round draft picks, they have five picks on the second day as well.
San Jose faces a critical choice between blue-line stability and elite offensive depth, as analysts predict a surprising shift toward the high-scoring forward at number two.
