Summary
The San Jose Sharks pulled off a bold move in the 2026 NHL Draft, trading up to the 21st pick to land Canadian defenseman Ryan Lin—a 18-year-old right-shot standout with 14 goals and 57 points in 53 games. To make the leap, they sent three future picks to the Flyers, showing serious intent to bolster their defense. Lin joins Keaton Verhoeff (9th overall) and Ivar Stenberg (2nd overall), three 18-year-olds aimed at transforming the Sharks’ future. With GM Mike Grier orchestrating these aggressive trades, the Sharks are betting big on youth and development to rebuild their roster from the ground up.
