When you’re as competitive as the San Jose Sharks have been during Doug Wilson’s tenure, you’ve got to hit on your few top-10 draft picks.
There’s no doubt Wilson has achieved that, directly or indirectly, with his four top-10 selections since his first draft in June 2003: Milan Michalek was spun into Dany Heatley, Devin Setoguchi became Brent Burns, while Logan Couture, and now, Timo Meier, have emerged as Sharks’ stars.
Meier’s skills took center stage during yesterday afternoon’s 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
