Do the San Jose Sharks pay attention to what the media says about the Draft?<\/p>\n
Naturally, Sharks director of scouting Chris Morehouse was coy about it, but the short answer is yes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s guidance, it\u2019s not a be-all and end-all,\u201d Morehouse told San Jose Hockey Now at the Combine. \u201c[Corey] Pronman and [Scott] Wheeler and Cam [Robinson], they\u2019ve been to games\u2026they\u2019re scouting and watching the players. Obviously, Bob [McKenzie] has connections, he\u2019s been in the business for a long time\u2026Central Scouting and their list, in terms of pointing us in the right direction at the beginning of the year, is really important because they do such a good job of blanketing everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morehouse stressed, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change how we do things, or put our draft board together. It\u2019s just part of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI tell our group, and I do it the same way, you\u2019re silly not to take the information people want to give you. Just be very selective of what information you give out.\u201d<\/p>\n
So what information did the San Jose Sharks give out before the 2025 Draft, when Michael Misa vs. Anton Frondell was hotly contested until the last minute? Morehouse didn\u2019t give anything away, but I did ask.<\/p>\n
Morehouse was more forthcoming about how the Sharks landed on selecting Joshua Ravensbergen and Haoxi (Simon) Wang last year. He also shed more insight on what made Igor Chernyshov stand out in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Do the San Jose Sharks pay attention to what the media says about the Draft?
