The full return: The San Jose Sharks sent Eklund, Kasper Halttunen, and the rights to Brandon Svoboda to Ottawa for the ninth-overall pick in the 2026 Draft — a pick the Sens had just landed from Florida in the Brady Tkachuk deal. That leaves the Sharks...

Who does Craig Button think that the San Jose Sharks should pick at No. 2?

(00:04:32) Button is on the hot seat from the first question!

If the Toronto Maple Leafs pass on Gavin McKenna, would Button take Chase Reid over McKenna?

Is Reid his clear-cut top defenseman of the 2026 Draft over Keaton Verhoeff, Carson Carels, Alberts Smits, and Daxon Rudolph?

Is Ivar Stenberg vs. Caleb Malhotra a discussion? Could Malhotra make sense for the Sharks?

All of us -- San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, insider Sheng Peng, and prospects guru Keegan McNally -- actually like how Grier approached March’s silly season!

There are two reasons why keeping pending UFAs like Mario Ferraro and company was a good idea: Boyle discusses the value of playing meaningful games for a young team. That includes, a short trip to the playoffs.

Why aren’t the San Jose Sharks calling up Luca Cagnoni?

Insider Sheng Peng, prospects guru Keegan McNally, and host Zubair Jeewanjee dive into that in the latest episode of the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast.
