## Resource

San Jose Sharks just made NHL history by drafting Alexander Karmanov — a seven-foot-one, 272-pound defenseman and the tallest player ever selected in the draft, plus the first ever from Moldova. His size breaks records, even surpassing the towering Zdeno Chara and Matt Rempe. The Sharks are clearly hyped, releasing a full scouting video to hype him up. Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Jets also etched their name in history by drafting Alofa Tunoa Ta’amu — the first NHLer of Samoan descent, whose dad was an NFL draft pick. It’s a moment for both physical dominance and cultural milestones in hockey. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
