BUFFALO — Michael Misa wants to join the San Jose Sharks.
“My roommate, Michael Misa, is hoping to go there,” fellow 2025 Draft-eligible Malcolm Spence, also Misa’s best friend, said on Saturday at the Draft Combine.
“Their young core coming up is promising and exciting,” Misa told San Jose Hockey Now in an exclusive interview earlier this week. “If they were to draft me, I hope I could just help them, make an impact to their organization.”
Do the San Jose Sharks feel the same?

The sense around the Combine this week was that while the San Jose Sharks would prefer defenseman Matthew Schaefer, just because of organizational need on the blueline, that Misa will be the franchise’s pick at No. 2, assuming Schaefer goes No. 1 to the New York Islanders as expected. A trade-up can’t be ruled out, but the cost of that might be too great for GM Mike Grier.
