After the 2024 NHL Draft, Mike Grier and the San Jose Sharks have built one of the best prospect pools in the entire league. Sebastian High of Locked on NHL Prospects gives his thoughts on the Sharks' prospect pool, how the foundation is set with William Eklund, Macklin Celebrini, and Will Smith, and why Sam Dickinson was exactly what the Sharks needed on the blue line. Then, examine the Sharks' greatest strength in their forward group and who the Sharks could have four first-round picks down the middle, as well as plenty of complementary pieces thanks to their recent drafts. Then, look at the areas Mike Grier will need to focus on as the Sharks continue their rebuild, including finding a high-end goalie prospect and another blue-chip defenseman.

With the offseason all but wrapped up for the San Jose Sharks and the National Hockey League, who were the big winners and losers for the Sharks? Start with why William Eklund has to be the biggest winner this offseason with the additions of Will Smith, Macklin Celebrini, and Alex Wennberg, all considered natural centers. Then, why might Thomas Bordeleau have seen his NHL job evaporate with the additions Mike Grier made this offseason? Then, shift to the bottom six and explain why Givani Smith might be playing with the San Jose Barracuda next year, thanks to the additions of Ty Dellandrea and Carl Grundström. Next, Nico Sturm might have been replaced by old friend Barclay Goodrow and why Sturm could be traded sooner rather than later. Finally, the lack of additions on the blue line was a huge win for Ty Emberson and Shakir Mukhamadullin, who could see big minutes in the NHL this season.

While the San Jose Sharks are set in goal with Mackenzie Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek, could Mike Grier and company look to add some netminder help for the San Jose Barracuda and insurance if Blackwood or Vanecek get hurt? Start by looking at the Shark goalie roster and why adding an AHL goalie who can play NHL games in a pinch is worth it. Start with Ivan Prosvetov, who split time between the Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Eagles and still might have some development left. Then Magnus Hellberg would fit the Aaron Dell veteran mold for an AHL goalie who can play the occasional NHL game. Also, look at Adam Scheel, who played for the Chicago Wolves but has not cracked the NHL yet. Finally, go through the other goalies who played NHL games last year and are still available to be signed.
