NHL Draft Lottery: San Jose Sharks have a 25.5% chance of winning the first overall pick and earning the right to select Macklin Celebrini
Patrik Allvin of the Vancouver Canucks and Mike Grier of the San Jose Sharks speak prior to round one of the 2023 Upper Deck NHL Draft at Bridgestone Arena on June 28, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee. SAN JOSE – Maybe the San Jose Sharks — and their fans — have to be ready for a little bit of a letdown when it comes to the NHL draft lottery.
But there’s also an 18.8% chance the Sharks fall to the second overall pick and, per tankathon.com, a 55.7% chance they wind up with the third overall selection. “If end up winning this lottery … it would definitely speed up the rebuild process,” Sportsnet draft analyst Sam Cosentino told this new organization in March. “ a guy I think you can build around for a number of reasons. Character, effort, smarts, production ability, skill. He is the perfect marriage of will and skill for me. I think the world of him.
In May 1990, it was determined by the NHL Board of Governors that the Sharks, set to come into the league in 1991, would not be eligible for the No. 1 overall pick., NHL President John Ziegler flat-out said the decision was made because the league did not want superstar-in-waiting Eric Lindros, the top available player in 1991, to go to an expansion team.
Tampa Bay won the coin toss and took defenseman Roman Hamrlik, who played 1,395 games over a 20-year NHL career. Ottawa took center Alexei Yashin, who had 781 points in 850 games over a 12-year career. San Jose drafted third overall and selected 6-5, 230-pound defenseman Mike Rathje, who had a 13-year career.
The bottom line is that Celebrini could help alter the trajectory of the Sharks franchise. Now, Grier and the rest of the Sharks organization need a little luck.Sharks coaching search: Seven names, young and , to ponder in San Jose
