Following a surprising jump to the second overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, the San Jose Sharks are considering trading this selection to enhance their roster, particularly on defense. With a focus on immediate competitiveness rather than rebuilding, the Sharks may opt for established NHL talent over another young forward, as Ivar Stenberg is the top prospect available. Additionally, rumors suggest that Auston Matthews might delay his decision on staying with Toronto, while Calgary’s Adam Klapka was cut from Team Czechia for the IIHF World Championships.
