The San Jose Sharks didn't have a first- or third-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft but spent the prior two years acquiring extra picks and restocking with young talent.
The Sharks had nine draft picks in 2015, including right wing Timo Meier, the No. 9 selection. They had eight selections in 2014, highlighted by left wing Nikolay Goldobin at No. 27.
"I think our system is really well replenished, and I think there's opportunity for young guys," general manager Doug Wilson said. "The competition is something we're really looking forward to in September.
