Chris Peters joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast!
Peters says people are underestimating… Macklin Celebrini? He also thinks winning the draft lottery could be the second most important day in San Jose Sharks history. Chris also talks about the Sharks' 2024 draft targets and why he thinks Will Smith should have stayed in college.
But before we move on to Peters (1:27:00), we discuss the Sharks' busy offseason week.
What do you think about the Ty Dellandrea trade? (2:14)
Is all of this week's activity a precursor to trading Mikael Granlund or Nico Sturm at the trade deadline?
Schenn talks about the four stages of the Barkley Goodrow acceptance, from when the San Jose Sharks acquired Goodrow to finding out the Sharks were on Goodrow's no-trade list (14:56).
Either way, Shen insists on adding Goodlaw. (35:32)
Finally, Keegan shares his personal rankings of the top 32 2024 draft picks, highlighting some underrated favorites like Konsta Helenius, Jett Luchanko and Andrew Basha. Who will Schenn and Keegan select at No. 14? (53:21)
Now, Chris Peters (1:27:00)!
Peters touted Celebrini highly, explaining why the San Jose Sharks' No. 1 pick is underrated and why winning the draft lottery could be the second-most important day in franchise history. (1:27:22)
Peters had Sharks defenseman Stian Solberg selected No. 14 in a recent mock draft. He also discusses other options such as Cole Yzerman and Adam Ilicek. How did Solberg and Yzerman interview at the combine? What happens if Konsta Helenius or Carter Jakemchuk fall off? (1:39:31)
Peters also had the Sharks select defenseman Adam Kleber with the 33rd pick and winger Matvey Gridin with the 42nd pick, but why? Who else could be a Mike Grier-like player in the second round? (1:52:02)
Schenn asked Peters about two prospects he's heard the San Jose Sharks are interested in, center Dean Letourneau and defenseman Gabriel Eliason. Peters said one of the prospects has been lightly referred to as a “bad guy.” (2:02:01)
Peters also gives his thoughts on some of the Sharks' potential prospects in the second round and beyond, as well as the goalies in this draft class (2:05:26).
Finally, Peters gives his opinion on why Will Smith was not selected as a Hobey Baker Hat Trick Finalist and why he believes Smith should have stayed in school for another year (2:11:48).
