Sharks’ draft spot represents critical rebuilding moment

Hockey hasn’t been played in San Jose for more than two months, but that didn’t stop Doug Wilson from suggesting the Sharks have reached a critical point.

San Jose’s general manager is executing his plan to rebuild on the fly after the team missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time under his watch of 11 years.

“This is probably the most important phase of the process we’ve gone through in the last year,” he said.

The next step for Wilson & Co. comes in the NHL’s two-day entry draft, which begins Friday in Sunrise, Fla.
