The San Jose Sharks' draft strategy takes center stage as JD Young and McKeen's Hockey expert Derek Neumeyer analyze three intriguing prospects. Jakob Ihs Wozniak, a 6'3" right-handed forward playing in Sweden, could be the next big thing for the Sharks' offense. Wozniak shows flashes of brilliance but struggles with consistency. Derek sees potential for him to develop into a second-line winger or power play specialist, making him an exciting prospect for the Sharks' future.

Will Horcroff, a versatile 6'4" forward, brings size and physicality to the table but needs refinement in his game. The discussion explores his potential to become a Jordan Staal-type player, possibly fitting as a strong third-line center on a championship team. Horcroff's combination of size and skill makes him an intriguing option for the Sharks as they look to bolster their forward depth.

The conversation shifts to Kurban Limatov, an exciting 6'3" defensive prospect playing in Russia. Derek labels him a "wild card" in the draft, comparing him favorably to other defensive prospects. Limatov's potential to develop into a second-pair defender with strong penalty-killing abilities could address the Sharks' need for defensive depth. Tune in to hear expert analysis on these potential future Sharks and gain insights into the team's draft strategy as they look to build a competitive roster for years to come.
