    Eklund Trade Reaction! | Cam Robinson Talks Stenberg, Laila Edwards Excited for San Jose EP 131

    The San Jose Sharks just blew up draft week! Mid-recording — right as we were rolling on our pre-draft special — Elliotte Friedman dropped the bomb: Sharks GM Mike Grier had traded William Eklund to the Ottawa Senators. So you get our genuine, unscripted, live on-air NHL reaction to the chaos as it broke! The full return: The San Jose Sharks sent Eklund, Kasper Halttunen, and the rights to Brandon Svoboda to Ottawa for the ninth-overall pick in the 2026 Draft — a pick the Sens had just landed from Florida in the Brady Tkachuk deal. That leaves the Sharks holding the No. 2, 9, and 27 picks heading into Friday's draft But before all that craziness, an exclusive: Our sit-down with Laila Edwards, the first draft pick in PWHL San Jose history, taken fourth-overall out of Wisconsin. A 2026 Olympic gold medalist and the highest-drafted black woman in PWHL Draft history — she gets into being a role model, her mom's "fire" fashion sense, her planned move to the Bay, some of her biggest personal influences, and what she brings to an expansion roster. She also jokes about moving into Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith's mansion. Then co-host Dan Boyle re-joins us from vacation with his insights on Chase Reid, Carson Carels, and the big decision for the Sharks at No. 2 — and the domino it sets off right behind them. To close — lost in the chaos but recorded the day before the Eklund trade — Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects joins us for the definitive prediction on the San Jose Sharks' pick at No. 2...Ivar Stenberg, the Frölunda winger projected as a future 80-90 point NHL forward. 00:00:00 Intro / Cold Open 00:02:59 Laila Edwards Interview: PWHL San Jose's First-Ever Draft Pick 00:23:45 Dan Boyle Returns: Sharks at No. 2 & the Canucks Domino (Reid, Carels) 01:02:00 Friedman Drops the Bomb: Sharks Trade Eklund to the Senators 01:17:27 The Full Trade Return — Live Reaction to the Chaos 02:21:41 Cam Robinson (Elite Prospects) on the Sharks' No. 2 Pick The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast is sponsored by Bring Hockey Back and Bladetech Hockey.

    Scott Wheeler Says Stenberg to Sharks (For Now) | Ravensbergen Talks Carels EP 130

    Post-Combine, Scott Wheeler jumps on to talk about the 2026 Draft! Joshua Ravensbergen also comes on to talk about Prince George Cougars teammate and potential San Jose Sharks No. 2 pick Carson Carels! The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast is sponsored by Bring Hockey Back and Bladetech Hockey! (00:04:12) Scott Wheeler shares why he has a “hunch” that the Sharks will pick Ivar Stenberg at No. 2. (00:10:39) How does Wheeler look back at Michael Misa vs. Anton Frondell last year? If the Sharks select the Swedish winger, Wheeler explains why he wouldn’t be so quick to trade from the Sharks’ excess of forwards for defensive help. (00:19:13) If the Sharks pick a defenseman, have Chase Reid and Carels set themselves apart from the rest of the field? Wheeler has been arguing with fellow Athletic draft guru Corey Pronman on their podcast about the potential value of Reid versus Stenberg. How does Reid rank amongst recent top blueline picks like Artyom Levshunov, David Jiricek, Simon Nemec, Zayne Parekh, Zeev Buium, and Sam Dickinson? (00:26:44) What are strong San Jose Sharks’ options at No. 20? Wheeler selected defenseman Tommy Bleyl to San Jose in his most recent mock. What are Sharks’ draft trends under GM Mike Grier? Which Sharks prospects are most likely to help the big club next year? (00:44:13) Why do Keegan, Sheng, and Zubair still think that the San Jose Sharks will pick a defenseman at No. 2? What about Joe Pavelski interviewing for the Toronto Maple Leafs head coach job? Sheng talks more about his brutal AirBNB story. (01:30:11) Who was the best prospect to chat with at the Combine? (01:34:50) What can the San Jose Sharks learn from Stanley Cup finalists Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes? Some free agents Mario Ferraro, Vincent Desharnais, Ryan Reaves, and Philipp Kurashev talk. Should the Sharks trade for Darnell Nurse, Morgan Rielly, Marcus Pettersson, or Filip Hronek? (02:17:30) Would you do this Hronek trade? PWHL San Jose has signed its first players. (02:31:45) Finally, top San Jose Sharks prospect and 2025-26 WHL Goaltender of the Year, Joshua Ravensbergen!

    Stenberg or Reid? Button on Who San Jose Sharks Should Draft | Boyle on Signing Raddysh EP 128

    Who does Craig Button think that the San Jose Sharks should pick at No. 2? (00:04:32) Button is on the hot seat from the first question! If the Toronto Maple Leafs pass on Gavin McKenna, would Button take Chase Reid over McKenna? Is Reid his clear-cut top defenseman of the 2026 Draft over Keaton Verhoeff, Carson Carels, Alberts Smits, and Daxon Rudolph? Is Ivar Stenberg vs. Caleb Malhotra a discussion? Could Malhotra make sense for the Sharks? (00:27:44) Why is Reid so exciting to Button? Would Button trade the No. 2 pick for a star NHL defenseman? Button shares a possible target for the San Jose Sharks’ No. 19 or 20 pick. What did Button think of Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson’s rookie seasons? Why is he high on Leo Sahlin Wallenius and Eric Pohlkamp? (00:46:09) Dan Boyle and Zubair Jeewanjee jump on to talk about the playoffs! Why has Boyle been so impressed by Quinn Hughes? What did he think about the Norris Trophy voting? Boyle has no issue with Evan Bouchard getting passed up. He also shares his thoughts about potential UFA target Darren Raddysh. (01:11:27) Would we trade the No. 2 pick for Werenski? (01:32:22) We chat about the Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews to the San Jose Sharks speculation. (01:38:35) Our thoughts on how Toronto Sun reporter Steve Simmons approached the John Chayka press conference. Sheng Peng also recalls making Macklin Celebrini walk off in a post-game press conference this season and asking David Quinn about his job status three years ago. Who are realistic free agency or trade targets on defense for the San Jose Sharks this off-season? Keegan McNally wrote a great article about it recently! (02:27:04) Peng gives a more concise explanation for why he didn’t vote Celebrini No. 1 for the Hart Trophy. (02:39:01) Finally, who do we think the Sharks should pick at No. 2?

    Goodbye to Special Sharks Season | Projecting Celebrini Extension, Boyle on Cagnoni EP 127

    We say goodbye to a special San Jose Sharks season! But before that, Sharks legend Dan Boyle remembers the time that he walked Brent Burns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV3AWKsTK7U Also, Zubair shares a great “hockey” movie that he watched recently. So where did Sheng vote Macklin Celebrini for the Hart Trophy? GM Mike Grier, in his exit interview, gave a spirited case. Will Celebrini be the next captain of the San Jose Sharks? Recent history gives a good idea of what Celebrini’s extension should look like. What did Dan think of Luca Cagnoni’s recent NHL call-up? Would you trade Michael Misa for Zach Werenski? Dan and Keegan have a perhaps surprising answer. We discuss what the San Jose Sharks blueline might look like next year. What about head coach Ryan Warsofsky? What did we think about his performance this season? What does Dan think of Eric Pohlkamp? We get into a thoughtful conversation about Shakir Mukhamadullin: What will it take to get him to the next level? Finally, we each give thanks for all your support this season!
