Sharks Weigh Trading Second Pick

About this episode

The San Jose Sharks are considering trading their second-overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft to improve their defense.

The San Jose Sharks are weighing a bold move—potentially trading their second-overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft to address a glaring defensive need. GM Mike Grier is open to deals that either bring back a top prospect or land an established star, especially as only two defensemen are signed for next season. One intriguing option? Swapping the No. 2 pick for Chicago’s No. 4 pick, defenseman Kevin Korchinski, and a future round pick. This could give San Jose a high-upside defenseman now while still securing a top-tier prospect later—perfect for accelerating their rebuild and fortifying their blue line.
