Potential Late First-Round Targets As Sharks Aim for Hidden Gem | Is Nilson A Grier Type Player?

Will the San Jose Sharks strike gold in the upcoming NHL draft? Three intriguing prospects take center stage as JD Young and draft expert Will Scouch analyze their potential impact on the Sharks' future. Swedish forward Eric Nilson emerges as a tantalizing option, boasting exceptional skating and hockey IQ despite his lean frame. Can he develop into a Phillip Danault-type player for San Jose? The conversation shifts to Jack Murtagh, a versatile forward from the US National Team. While lacking a standout skill, Murtagh's physical presence and adaptability make him an interesting complementary piece. The wildcard of the bunch is Boston University defenseman Sascha Boumedienne. Described as a "mystery box," Boumedienne's fluid skating and offensive upside are tempered by defensive inconsistencies. Will his high-risk, high-reward potential justify a high pick? Beyond individual prospects, JD and Will explore broader draft strategies, player evaluation techniques, and the crucial importance of Day Two selections.
