Sharks Select Forward Michael Misa With Second Pick In 2025 NHL Draft

>> IT IS TIME FOR THE SECOND PICK IN THE NHL ENTRY DRAFT. MAKING THE SELECTION FOR THE SAN JOSE SHARKS IS SOMEONE BORN AND RAISED IN SAN JOSE. SHE’S A WWE SUPERSTAR AND TWO-TIME WWE SMACKDOWN CHAMPION. I GIVE YOU BAILEY. [Applause] >> THANKS SO MUCH. HELLO, LOS ANGELES! HOCKEY FANS! IT IS A HUGE HONOUR TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND A HUGE HONOUR TO REPRESENT MY SAN JOSE SHARKS! [Crowd Noise] HEY, BETTER WATCH THEM BOOS, ALL RIGHT? SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, WITH THE SECOND OVERALL SELECTION IN THE 2025 NHL DRAFT, THE SAN JOSE SHARKS ARE PROUD TO SELECT FROM THE SAGINAW SPIRIT, MICHAEL MISA! [Cheering & Applause] >> David: MICHAEL MISA, NEWEST MEMBER OF THE SAN JOSE SHARKS, HUGS FOR MOM SANDRA, DAD FRANK AND BROTHER LUKE DRAFTED LAST YEAR BY THE CALGARY FLAMES, AND WOW, WHAT A MOMENT FOR MICHAEL MISA AND WHAT A RUN IT’S BEEN. EXCEPTIONAL STATUS INTO THE OHL. I’VE WATCHED HIM PLAY SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE GUY, PLAYED WITH THE 2006s DESPITE BEING A 2007. HE LED THE CHL 24 POINTS AS FAR AS DRAFT ELIGIBLE PLAYERS WITH 134 POINTS, SAM. >> Sam: THE THINGS HE DID IN THE OHL AND THE CHL IN GENERAL HAVE BEEN UNMATCHED IN 25 YEARS. CONNOR BEDARD WE SAW A COUPLE YEARS AGO, SIDNEY CROSBY BEFORE THAT. IN TERMS OF THE POINT TOTALS AT 134, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO ’06-07. PATRICK KANE, 145 POINTS FOR THE LONDON KNIGHTS IN HIS DRAFT YEAR. NEXT, THIS GUY RIGHT HERE, MICHAEL MISA. THOSE NUMBERS IN AND OF THEMSELVES SIMPLY AMAZING. A BIG PART OF THAT IS THE MOVE FROM LEFT WING TO CENTRE. FIRST TWO YEARS IN SAGINAW, HIDE HIM A LITTLE BIT, GET SOME GOOD MATCHUPS ON THE WING. MOVE HIM TO CENTRE AND BOOM, HE TOOK OFF. NAMED THE YOUNGEST CAPTAIN IN SAGINAW SPIRIT FRANCHISE HISTORY. THIS IS HIS SHINING MOMENT. >> Sam: WHEN YOU UNLOCKED HIM BY MOVING HIM TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ICE, WHAT DOES DID FOR A SKATER IS YOU’RE ALWAYS IN MOTION. WHEN YOU’RE IN MOTION AND YOU CAN USE THE FULL WIDTH OF THE ICE, YOU GET MORE CREATIVE. WHEN YOU GET MORE CREATIVE AND YOU HAVE SPEED THROUGH THE NEUTRAL ZONE, YOU GET OFF THE FLANK AND RIPPING THE PUCK WAY MORE AND THAT’S WHY YOU SEE THE SPIKE IN HIS GOALS. THIS KID, THOUGH, WHEN HE HAS TO PLAY THE WING AT THE NHL LEVEL, HE’S CAPABLE AND CAN KILL PENALTIES. HE CAN DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. I DIDN’T HAVE HAIM HERE. >> Colby: I DID, I HAVE HIM THERE. YOU KNOW HOW I ROLL, BOYS. HE’S HERE AT SECOND PLACE, OUR SECOND OVERALL PICK. YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. YOU CANNOT DENY THE WAY HE CONTRIBUTES AND PRODUCES. YOU TALK ABOUT HIS SKATING AND PLAYING UP THE MIDDLE, HAVE THE PUCK MORE, GUYS LIKE THAT,

  2. Misa will make a great addition to the team. Itll be a tough choice on putting Maclin with either Will Smith or Misa. Or if you make the young gun line!

  24. Imagine being drafted 2 overall and how hard it will be for Misa to become the greatest Sharks player of all time or greatest Sharks Canadian player of all time or current.

    Thornton, Macklin, Couture, Burns but hopefully he outplays one of those names. As an American let's go Canada.

  39. Honestly as a Sharks fan I was upset when we picked him not because I didn't think he was a good player. He's gonna be a very good 2C for us if Smith turns into a winger or a luxury 3C like Jordan Staal was to Pittsburgh during their first cup run with Crosby and Malkin. I just really felt like Frondell had legit Leon Draisaitl potential and Hagens had legit Jack Hughes potential Frondell and Hagens have a much higher ceiling but the floor is much higher for Misa though and I see why the Sharks made the safe pick. I'm warming up towards the pick, were still lucky to add a pick like this. I think he's still a high end two-way playoff performer heart and soul 2C level player on a cup contender in his prime like Logan Couture/Ryan O'Reilly/Jordan Staal/Sam Bennett prototype imo.
