Sharks Target Sokolovskii for Defense

The San Jose Sharks, eyeing a defensive upgrade after acquiring Michael Kesselring, are closely watching towering defenseman Maksim Sokolovskii—six-foot-eight, 238 pounds, left-handed, and a physical force with surprising agility.

Ranked between 22nd and 40th overall, Sokolovskii’s blend of size and speed makes him a top-30 draft target—and a perfect fit for the Sharks’ need for grit and stability.
