We know Connor Bedard will almost certainly be headed to Chicago, and even if Anaheim were to pass on Adam Fantilli, it’s extremely unlikely he falls to fourth overall. However, the Sharks are guaranteed to have one of Leo Carlsson or Matvei Michkov available by the time they select (though Michkov remains locked into a KHL contract until 2026). But based on the top of the draft class, selecting a forward seems likely.
The first round of the NHL Draft will take place on June 28.
