Why Sharks will need trade sell-off to help secure a top 2023 NHL Draft pick

The San Jose Sharks are in the bottom of the NHL standings. They have the fifth-worst record and can only drop two places maximum. GMs are allowed to trade players to improve their teams' chances of winning the lottery. San Francisco is considering trading Matt Nieto, Nick Bonino and James Reimer. It's also possible to sell Timo Meier. The Sharks lost 7-1 to the Oilers on Friday. The team is 19th in standings and was 17th before the game. Other teams with worse records are going to get worse as their GM's trade away players. Philadelphia, St. Louis and Vancouver are selling players in final weeks.

This was especially true in the'90s, when the Sharks had the second-overall selection three times and the third-overall twice. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride, that's a feeling familiar to a 32-year-old franchise…
