The San Jose Sharks are drafting Ivan Stenberg with the No. 2 pick on Friday, right?The Sharks’ move to acquire the No. 9 pick from the Ottawa Senators for William Eklund provided general manager Mike Grier the option to take Stenberg, widely considered to be second-best player in the draft, at No. 2, and either use that second top-10 selection to draft a defenseman or use it in trade to get more immediate help for a substandard blue line. The trade also ended any thought of the Chicago Blackhawks trying to acquire the No. 2 pick, as the Blackhawks went on to trade their No. 4 pick for defenseman Bowen Byram.If you connect the dots, it sure seems as though Stenberg, who starred as an 18-year-old in the Sweden, is San Jose-bound. Grier wasn’t so sure everyone should jump to the conclusion.“First of all, you guys are all speculating,” Grier said Wednesday in a call with reporters. “Nothing’s decided about our board, how we have them and how we lined up. As far as Ivar goes, he’s a competitive kid. Sees the ice well, competes hard. Dual threat. Pretty comfortable playing against men already and had a historic season.”With three first-round picks — San Jose also holds the No. 27 selection — Grier has been busy fielding offers in what is already a turbocharged trade market. He’s also looking to put any of those picks on the trade table for a player – most likely an impact defenseman who preferably fits the Byram profile in age and talent level – that can be a long-term piece for a Sharks team on the rise.For instance, the No. 9 pick has resulted in many more calls, along with what Grier said were two more inquiries on the No. 2 pick, including “one that’s real interesting.”“Yeah, it’s picked up,” Grier said. “I think teams are curious to what our plan was to do with 9. We had a few teams reach out and express some interest in it and what we’d be looking for. Now that we have 9, I think a couple teams reached out on 2 again. All stuff for us to consider.“We still have a couple days to get our board right and then see what the day brings as we go along here this week.”With many options, the Sharks may be the most interesting team ahead of the draft. Will they take Stenberg? Grier called him “a very talented player.” But, perhaps intentionally, he kept the door open for the Sharks to go in another direction, saying “6-(foot-)3, right-shot D who can skate and create offense don’t grow on trees either.”It was an obvious allusion to Michigan State-bound Chase Reid, who is the consensus top defenseman in this draft. Or it could have been about the pool of right-handed shots that include North Dakota’s Keaton Verhoeff or Denver commit Daxon Rudolph, either of whom could potentially be available to San Jose at No. 9.
