The 2025 NHL Draft has come and gone once again, but as always there were a few heartwarming stories that came with it for the San Jose Sharks.
First, Macklin Celebrini gave a phone call to his newest teammate after the Sharks selected Michael Misa second-overall.
Misa’s adventures weren’t over there, as William Eklund also stopped by to introduce himself:

Then, he got a call from fellow Sharks prospect Sam Dickinson:

And Haoxi (Simon) Wang Facetimed with Josh Ravensbergen, who he met at the Combine:
Wang & Ravensbergen met & got close at the Combine.
They Facetimed each other after Wang got picked!
He says #SJSharks “meant to be”, not just because of Josh. Wang’s brother missed Day 1 of Draft, got in in time for Day 2.
