With the team in the midst of a rebuild or re-tool and trying to get younger, you'd think it's unlikely that they would part with that fourth overall pick. Well, it appears that they're at least considering it.
There is a lot of talent in this year's draft, so with the players that will be availability to them at fourth overall, it may be hard for Mike Grier to move the pick. But as he mentions, it would have to be something significant, but would that be?
One reason the Sharks could consider that potential trade above is that if Connor Bedard, Adam Fantilli and Leo Carlsson are all off the board with the first three picks and they aren't comfortable drafting Matvei Michkov.
The second is if they want Michkov, but aren't comfortable taking him at fourth overall. They would run the risk of Arizona taking him at fourth or Montreal taking him fifth, but if their intel suggests that neither team would want to select Michkov, then they could be willing taking this deal.
