During the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the San Jose Sharks decided to take a chance and draft defenseman Mario Ferraro in the second round (49th overall) when he was ranked and projected as at best a third-round pick.
The Sharks saw traits in Ferraro that they loved and pounced on their guy before it was too late.
After taking a look at the players that were drafted after Ferraro, it’s clear the Sharks made the correct pick. Besides two players, Mikey Anderson (Los Angeles King) and Sebastian Aho (New York Islanders), no player drafted after Ferraro is playing in the NHL.
