The 2025 NHL Entry Draft has come and gone, and after a weekend where fans questioned the format of the new decentralized draft, the San Jose Sharks came away with quite a few new prospects in their prospect pool. In this article, let’s take a look at all of their new players.

Michael Misa - 2nd Overall

After rumors that the Sharks may take Anton Frondell over Michael Misa, or trade the pick, they chose to stick with it and chose Misa second overall. 

Misa is an electric offensive producer, scoring 62 goals and adding 72 assists for 134 points through 65 games in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) with the Saginaw Spirit last season. He has a chance to jump right into the NHL next season, and as a forward who can play both center and wing, he should be able to adapt to the fast pace of the professional level, and his flexibility around the lineup gives him a good chance at sticking around all season.

Joshua Ravensbergen - 30th Overall

Joshua Ravensbergen was the second goaltender selected in the draft, at 30th overall by the Sharks. Fans questioned it, considering Yaroslav Askarov is the future starter, but taking a risk on a right-hand catching goaltender who has the chance of becoming a backup goalie in 4-5 years isn’t a bad selection at all.

In the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Prince George Cougars, he posted a 3.00 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .901 save percentage (SV%) through 51 games. If he keeps fine-tuning his game at the junior level, he has some serious potential. 

Haoxi Simon Wang - 33rd Overall

Haoxi Simon Wang was seen as a bit of a reach from fans, but he is a solid project selection in the second round. Wang is committed to Boston University in the NCAA for next season. Last season, the defender had two points in 32 games with the Oshawa Generals in the OHL.

Some critics were concerned about his lack of offensive production, but with some fine-tuning, his tools could turn him into a future bottom-pairing defender for the Sharks. It's a risk, but a fun one to take.

Cole McKinney - 53rd Overall

Cole McKinney is a forward from Chicago, Illinois. Last season, he had 61 points through 60 games in the NTDP with the U.S. National U18 Team.

He is committed to the University of Michigan for the 2025-26 season, and is described as a two-way center that can play any role in any situation.

Teddy Mutryn - 95th Overall

Teddy Mutryn is a 6-foot-1, 209-pound forward. He had 30 points through 47 games in the United States Hockey League (USHL) with the Chicago Steel.

He is committed to Boston College in the NCAA for the 2026-27 season, and is described as a power forward with an incredible shot. 

Ilyas Magomedsultanov - 115th Overall

Ilyas Magomedsultanov is a 6-foot-2, 179-pound defender from Russia. In the MHL in Russia last season, he scored one goal and added eight assists for nine points through 43 games. 

He will return to Russia and the MHL next season, and is described as a strong defensive defender.

Zachary Sharp - 124th Overall

Zachary Sharp is a 6-foot-1, 181-pound forward from the NCAA. He had nine points through 42 games with Western Michigan University in the NCAA last season, and will return there for the 2025-26 season.

Max Heise - 150th Overall

Max Heise is a 6-foot-3, 170-pound forward from Calgary, Alberta. He is described as a defensive two-way center who plays a strong physical game.

He spent last season in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) with the Penticton Vees, where he scored 27 goals and added 13 assists for 40 points through 50 games. 

He will play with the Prince Albert Raiders in the Western Hockey League (WHL) next season and is committed to Michigan State University for the 2026-27 season.

Richard Gallant - 210th Overall

Finally, Richard Gallant is a 5-foot-8, 170-pound forward who is committed to Harvard University in the NCAA for the 2025-26 season.

Last season, he scored 29 goals and added 24 assists for 53 points through 66 games with the U.S. National U18 Team in the NTDP.

These guys will all look to eventually make a splash with the Sharks down the line, but for now, it will be interesting to see how they continue to grow as prospects and can produce at the junior level before trying to make the jump to professional hockey. 

Misa is likely the only player on this list who has a realistic chance at cracking the Sharks' opening night roster for the 2025-26 season, but Ravensbergen and Wang might get some preseason games in, should the Sharks choose to give them some solid experience. Either way, Misa might make a solid run at rookie of the year, alongside a promising young team around him.
