The San Jose Sharks just blew up draft week!

Mid-recording — right as we were rolling on our pre-draft special — Elliotte Friedman dropped the bomb: Sharks GM Mike Grier had traded William Eklund to the Ottawa Senators. So you get our genuine, unscripted, live on-air NHL reaction to the chaos as it broke!

The full return: The San Jose Sharks sent Eklund, Kasper Halttunen, and the rights to Brandon Svoboda to Ottawa for the ninth-overall pick in the 2026 Draft — a pick the Sens had just landed from Florida in the Brady Tkachuk deal. That leaves the Sharks holding the No. 2, 9, and 27 picks heading into Friday's draft

But before all that craziness, an exclusive: Our sit-down with Laila Edwards, the first draft pick in PWHL San Jose history, taken fourth-overall out of Wisconsin. A 2026 Olympic gold medalist and the highest-drafted black woman in PWHL Draft history — she gets into being a role model, her mom's "fire" fashion sense, her planned move to the Bay, some of her biggest personal influences, and what she brings to an expansion roster. She also jokes about moving into Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith's mansion.

Then co-host Dan Boyle re-joins us from vacation with his insights on Chase Reid, Carson Carels, and the big decision for the Sharks at No. 2 — and the domino it sets off right behind them.

(00:19:13) If the Sharks pick a defenseman, have Chase Reid and Carels set themselves apart from the rest of the field?

Wheeler has been arguing with fellow Athletic draft guru Corey Pronman on their podcast about the potential value of Reid versus Stenberg. How does Reid rank amongst recent top blueline picks like Artyom Levshunov, David Jiricek, Simon Nemec, Zayne Parekh, Zeev Buium, and Sam Dickinson?

Who does Craig Button think that the San Jose Sharks should pick at No. 2?

(00:04:32) Button is on the hot seat from the first question!

If the Toronto Maple Leafs pass on Gavin McKenna, would Button take Chase Reid over McKenna?

Is Reid his clear-cut top defenseman of the 2026 Draft over Keaton Verhoeff, Carson Carels, Alberts Smits, and Daxon Rudolph?

Is Ivar Stenberg vs. Caleb Malhotra a discussion? Could Malhotra make sense for the Sharks?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV3AWKsTK7U

Also, Zubair shares a great “hockey” movie that he watched recently.

So where did Sheng vote Macklin Celebrini for the Hart Trophy? GM Mike Grier, in his exit interview, gave a spirited case.

The San Jose Sharks’ playoff hopes are on life support!

So it’s time for an emergency subscriber mailbag!

Let’s get to it!

Knewbs3: Why trade William Eklund instead of prospects like Quentin Musty and Filip Bystedt?

Flying Frenchman: Is management happy with Ryan Warsofsky’s performance?

Ohheytravis: Is Warsofsky on the hot seat?

Tim Graveline: If the San Jose Sharks win the Draft lottery, should they take a BPA forward like Gavin McKenna or trade back for a defenseman prospect?

For Zubair, what’s a song or maybe an album that best represents this sharks season? What song/album would you hope would represent the sharks next season?

Zeke: Which San Jose Barracuda forwards have a legit shot at a playing role in the NHL?

Rphillips: Is our organization’s ability to develop defensemen a concern?

(22:39) Bob Horenstein: What does the defense look like next year? Which UFA’s do the Sharks bring back?

Dave: Following how patient the Colorado Avalanche were in building a Stanley Cup winner, shouldn’t we allow GM Mike Grier that kind of rope?

Dylan Smallwood: Does Alex Tuch fit the San Jose Sharks? Would you give him a maximum contract?

What player type do the Sharks need next year?

Do you see Michael Misa or Sam Dickinson starting next season in the AHL?

(40:23) Stephanie K: How much did Doug Wilson Jr.’s drafting hurt the San Jose Sharks’ current team?

Downriver: What skills do Shakir Mukhamadullin, Dickinson, and Luca Cagnoni need to develop if they’re going to be regulars at the NHL level? Do you see Pohlkamp as NHL-ready for a contending team?

Finny Damphousse: What are you all sipping on? Alcohol or non-alcoholic.

Giant Shark Tooth Necklace: Is there a specific player you would have liked to have seen the Sharks trade for at the Deadline to help with the playoff push? If so, what would your “take or leave it” trade offer have been for that player, if there was a bidding war? Or do you think Grier made the right call to wait until the off-season to make any major moves?

James R: For Keegan, realizing there is no Matthew Schaefer in this Draft, are there a defenseman in this year’s class that could reasonably step into an NHL lineup next season and be a legit everyday player?

(56:33) How comfortable do you feel running back the same goaltending tandem next season?

Yetis: The organization has a glut of forwards both on the NHL roster and in the AHL in Musty, Bystedt, and Kasper Halttunen. Who is most likely to go?

Rob S: Does Mukhamadullin want to return to the Sharks?

Can Mario Ferraro develop his puck-moving beyond what it is now?

Sven_: Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized Dan Boyles or 1 Dan Boyle-sized duck?

James Murphy: Shouldn’t the Sharks have called up Luca Cagnoni earlier to run the power play?

Spon: Are the Sharks pushing Dickinson (and possibly Pohlkamp when he arrives) too hard and too soon?

Megabite: Any chance Nedeljkovic is not going to return? 

BiscuitBoy: Is Yaroslav Askarov’s glove hand fixable? Will Will Smith learn to be stronger with the puck?

Stefan Schwartz: What do you think about the D by committee route for the Sharks, since true No. 1 D are hard to come by? Which middle-pairing defensemen would fit the Sharks?

FaultySynapse: What will the San Jose Sharks’ depth chart look like if they pull the trigger on a No. 1 defenseman in a trade?

(1:14:25) Just Steve: How do you think the Sharks have handled Mukhamadullin and other prospects?

Michael K.: What are the Sharks’ options on defense next year if Pohlkamp or Cagnoni aren’t ready? And they strike out on defense?

Cole Seavey: Should the Sharks be in the chase for Auston Matthews?

Jigglz: Do you ever see yourselves doing a live, in-person recording of the Pod with an audience?

(1:27:36) Sarge: The Sharks have the No. 9 pick of the 2026 Draft. The top-4 defensemen are gone, leaving Daxon Rudolph on the board. Should San Jose take Rudolph or a forward like Oscar Hemming? How angry will Sharks fans be if they pick the non-defenseman?

NotAlexKorolyuk: Which stars would you like to see on the Sharks over the next three years, be the most fun?

Ken Meehan: What three moves should the Sharks make this summer to “guarantee” a playoff spot next year?

Bellizar: If the Sharks pick Albert Smits, is he NHL-ready, and what does a Smits and Dickinson-led defense need around them?

Kyle Johnson: As a non-season ticket holder, how do you go about getting prospects scrimmage tickets? I want to get them before they sell out.

Chris Geer: If the Sharks don’t win the Lottery, should they package a good prospect like a Bystedt etc. with their pick to go up higher in the Draft?

Radioheadliner (the other James R.): What would Kevin Woodley or Thomas Speer say about Askarov’s ability to stop shots up high or track the puck through screens? Keegan, didn’t you tweet way back when that you were worried about his hands?

Fin Coe: If Warsofsky keeps his job, are there any Assistant Coaches that could be in the hot seat?

Keegan, will you be repping your Sharks fandom at your wedding?

Sheng, are there any colleagues of yours whose work you think we should follow?

Zubair, what sticks do you rock?

Joe E: What’s going on with the San Jose Barracuda? They’re on a nine-game losing streak. Also, do we trust them to get the most out of Pohlkamp or Leo Sahlin Wallenius?

Ricky LaFleur: In Mike Grier’s opening presser, his mission statement was that we were going to be hard, heavy, and difficult to play against—basically the complete antithesis of what we are. Why do you think he’s deviated from his original blueprint?

Gary To: For top power play quarterback next year, would you prefer a youngster like Dickinson or Cagnoni to QB the PP or should they re-explore the five-forward PP? Or acquire a bridge PP1 QB? 

Kevin: Do we see the Sharks emptying the war chest for one star difference-maker on defense or multiple solid d-men? What will a Michael Kesselring cost?

Jon Swenson: Could the San Jose Sharks ask Tyler Toffoli to waive his NTC this off-season?

Should we be concerned with Will Smith’s confidence and Shakir Mukhamadullin’s development?

Also, Sheng and Keegan share their post-Trade Deadline San Jose Sharks’ top-10 prospects!

It was a fascinating road trip, full of highs and lows.

What did we think of what Mike Grier did (or didn’t do) at the Trade Deadline?

All of us -- San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, and prospects guru Keegan McNally -- actually like how Grier approached March’s silly season!

There are two reasons why keeping pending UFAs like Mario Ferraro and company was a good idea: Boyle discusses the value of playing meaningful games for a young team. That includes, a short trip to the playoffs.

Why aren’t the San Jose Sharks calling up Luca Cagnoni?

What was up with that left field Sergei Bobrovsky rumor?

Finally, our thoughts on the William Eklund-for-Simon Nemec rumor: Was it realistic?

What’s Nemec’s ceiling? Could Grier be holding on to Eklund for a bigger move?

names, and bats around impact defensemen like Adam Fox and Josh Morrissey.

Will the Sharks keep or trade Kiefer Sherwood or Mario Ferraro?

Why did one NHL scout pump the brakes on the Chernyshov hype, by setting more of a top-six winger expectation for the San Jose Sharks’ 2024 second-round pick? Are stars Mark Stone or Valeri Nichushkin valid comparisons for Chernyshov?

Also, San Jose Sharks faceoff consultant Zenon Konopka jumps on the podcast! Legendary defenseman Dan Boyle joins in on the hilarious chat.

Konopka discusses Ty Dellandrea’s growth at the faceoff circle and how impressive Macklin Celebrini is as a player.

Konopka also shares now-funny stories from his colorful career, like spooking Dion Phaneuf and threatening Brian Boyle before a playoff game.

Also, what’s the path for the San Jose Sharks to make the playoffs?

Happy holidays from all of us at the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! We also share our Sharks’ Christmas wishes, what we’re grateful for, and unsung heroes.

Finally, Keegan previews the World Junior Championships!

(3:20) What's Sheng grateful for? We also talk about the path for the Sharks to make the playoffs.
(20:38) What's Zubair grateful for?
(38:56) What's Keegan's wishlist? And a discussion about Chernyshov's ceiling.

San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and rink rat Zubair Jeewanjee talk all things Sharks!

We’ve got a jam-packed episode this week!

Randy Hahn joins to discuss his rousing call in the greatest regular season comeback in San Jose Sharks history, the 6-5 OT win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

Hahn also shares more about the vibe on the team airplane after the game and declares that the Sharks are making the playoffs this year.

We discuss the Will Smith and Philipp Kurashev injuries: Did the Sharks call up the right prospects in Igor Chernyshov and Ethan Cardwell?

Finally, Keegan and Sheng discuss how San Jose is going to improve their defense in the future. Should they have been more aggressive chasing after Quinn Hughes? Which teams with No. 1 defensemen might make them available, via trade or UFA, in the near-future? Or, how can the Sharks make a Stanley Cup-caliber defense without a true No. 1?

It’s a dream (or nightmare?) lefty-righty combo: Sheng is paired with just Dan Boyle today!

Does Macklin Celebrini have a strong case for the Hart Trophy? Sheng thinks so.

How about Alex Wennberg for…Selke? It’s not as crazy as it sounds.

We also discuss the state of the San Jose Sharks’ blueline: Who deserves to play every night?

What’s going on with Shakir Mukhamadullin? What’s a path for the young San Jose Sharks defenseman to get more consistent playing time?

Dan is honest about what he’s seen from John Klingberg this season. Sheng asked some NHL scouts about Nick Leddy.

Finally, Dan recalls when he knew that it was time for him to retire. He shares the mental challenge of adjusting to a lesser role in his last two years with the New York Rangers.

San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and Sharks Ice beer league champ Zubair Jeewanjee talk all things Sharks!

This week, Sharks fan favorite and new Boston Bruins head coach Marco Sturm gives us the in’s and out’s of his new job: What’s the adjustment like coaching AHL vs. NHL players? As a coach, what do you hope to gain from scratching players? Do you treat superstars differently than the rest of the team? How do you use and handle the media?

Before we chat with Sturm, we discuss this week in San Jose Sharks hockey!

The Sharks have recalled Vincent Iorio, what do they do with their nine defensemen?

We revisit the Fabian Zetterlund and Ryan Reaves trades.

Sheng says Macklin Celebrini had just an okay week…and Celebrini still won NHL Third Star of the Week?!

And Keegan zeroes in on Shakir Mukhamadullin and Keaton Verhoeff in his prospects’ corner, which also debuts a theme song, courtesy of Will Neumann!

(2:48) Vincent Iorio recalled, San Jose Sharks have to make a D decision?

(23:51) What’s going on with Michael Misa’s injury? Should Sharks send him to WJCs?

(31:30) Revisiting the Fabian Zetterlund trade: Zack Ostapchuk is opening eyes!

(42:20) The San Jose Sharks debut their hilarious Player of the Game Award! Ryan Reaves has made a huge impact on the locker room.

Of course, we talk about Macklin Celebrini and Yaroslav Askarov! And we discuss another winning week of Sharks hockey.

(1:22:00) We dissect Shakir Mukhamadullin’s game, for better and worse. Is Keaton Verhoeff going to be a No. 1 defenseman?

(1:56:00) Marco Sturm interview!

Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and Sharks Ice beer league champ Zubair Jeewanjee talk about the resurgent Sharks.

How good are the San Jose Sharks though, really?

We discuss their much-maligned defense, from John Klingberg to Shakir Mukhamadullin.

Kevin Woodley, NHL.com and InGoal Magazine goalie guru, jumps on to discuss Yaroslav Askarov’s improved play. He shares his thoughts about the specifics of why the young San Jose Sharks goalie has been so good in November. He also talks about the underrated Alex Nedeljkovic.

We also debate who’s the San Jose Sharks’ second-best forward, William Eklund or Will Smith. Also, why did the Sharks call up Zack Ostapchuk over the likes of Quentin Musty, Igor Chernyshov, and company?

Speaking of Chernyshov, Keegan focuses on the Russian’s strengths and weaknesses in his prospects focus. He also discusses perhaps the top 2026 Draft power forward, Ethan Belchetz, who has a cool Michael Misa connection.

The good vibes are back with the San Jose Sharks!

San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and Sharks Ice rink rat Zubair Jeewanjee talk about the Macklin Celebrini superstar tour. Boyle, who’s played with his share of great players, puts Celebrini in rarified air. We also discuss some of Celebrini’s less-obvious skills.

Along the way, Boyle tells a hilarious Igor Larionov story.

Should the San Jose Sharks be concerned about Yaroslav Askarov’s play? Boyle doesn’t think so, while Sheng shares insight into Askarov’s relationship with the media.

We’re nearing decision time on Sam Dickinson and Michael Misa, should they stay in the NHL or go back to juniors? The boys have a far different opinion of Misa’s game against the Los Angeles Kings than most of you.

Boyle weighs in on the San Jose Sharks’ veteran defensemen, Dmitry Orlov and John Klingberg. Dan likes their recent play.

To close the show, Zubair praises William Eklund and Will Smith and Collin Graf’s development.

Dan Boyle takes your questions!

In a special mailbag, the San Jose Sharks legend takes a question from the equally-legendary Randy Hahn, tells us why the President’s Trophy-winning 2008-09 Sharks got swept in the first round, how an NHL locker room would react to an openly-gay player, why he joined the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast, and shares a hilarious locker room prank story.

Insider Sheng Peng and prospects guru Keegan McNally also share their thoughts about the San Jose Sharks’ opening night roster and Tuesday’s lines, including Ty Dellandrea taking the third-line center job, at least for now, from Michael Misa and Philipp Kurashev.

Dan Boyle answered his many questions first!
