## Resource

The San Jose Sharks just drafted Alexander Karmanov, the tallest player ever in NHL history at 71 and 280 lbs, marking the first-ever selection from Moldova. While his path to the pros is still unfolding—he’s committed to Penn State and will start with the North Bay Battalion in the OHL next season—the sheer physicality of this 7-foot-1 behemoth is already turning heads. The Sharks are taking a long-term approach, letting him develop in college before any NHL push. His journey is unique, and his impact—whether on the ice or in the conversation—could redefine what it means to be a giant in hockey.
