## Resource

The San Jose Sharks just drafted Alexander Karmanov at 201 — the tallest player ever selected — a 7’1” Moldovan defenseman who’s embracing his role as a shutdown force. Though a late-round gamble, scouts praise his growth, work ethic, and physical presence that can’t be taught. This bold move signals a new era where sheer size and toughness are reshaping NHL draft strategy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
