Sharks Smart Trade Sets Up Big Draft

Mike Grier just pulled off a masterstroke trade, snagging defenseman Michael Kesselring from Buffalo for just a seventh-round draft pick — a steal that gives San Jose a right-shot power-play quarterback without sacrificing any current players. Kesselring, though not elite yet, showed NHL upside and impressed under Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky. The move clears the path for Grier to draft top prospect Ivar Stenberg — a dynamic offensive winger — while keeping his second first-round pick. This is strategic, efficient, and exactly the kind of calculated building that could reshape the Sharks’ future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
