The San Jose Sharks lost out on the first overall selection in the recent draft lottery for the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, but they didn't slip any more than that, and have earned the right to select second overall after the New York Islanders won the prize of winning of selecting before anyone else.
However, it seems as though Mike Grier, Sharks' general manager, remains open to moving the selection for the right price.
Grier is still open to moving the 2nd overall pick. Same thing he said at exit interviews. Says the package has to make sense for the #SJSharks to move 2nd overall.

Moving out the second overall pick would cost a lot from any team looking to move up in the draft, but the Sharks could benefit either way. On one hand, moving the pick could bring them assets that help them immediately improve, but on the other, they could add another elite prospect that could help them become a contender in the future.
Time will tell what ends up happening, but it's good to know the Sharks are considering all options in hopes of climbing their way out of the bottom of the standings sooner rather than later.
