But don't sleep on what happened to the San Jose Sharks , who slot one spot behind the Leafs with the No. 2 overall pick. The Sharks had just 5.
2% chance of moving up into that slot. They had just the ninth-worst points total in the league. They should've likely been drafting further down.
But as with the Leafs, things worked out in San Jose's favor. It means that they got Macklin Celebrini first overall two years ago, then Michael Misa with the second pick last year, and now they can add a third player potentially of that caliber. The second pick is a great spot to be in this draft.
