Michael Misa is the second-best prospect of the 2025 Draft, according to TSN\u2019s Bob McKenzie\u2019s final ranking of prospects for the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n
Misa and projected No. 1 pick Matthew Schaefer were ranked as clear front-runners by 10 NHL scouts surveyed by TSN.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIf a team picking first-overall this year really needed a centre more than a defenceman, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s outrageous to suggest Misa could be taken ahead of Schaefer,\u201d one scout told TSN. Misa racked up 62 goals and 72 assists in 65 games for the Saginaw Spirit, often playing with San Jose Sharks\u2019 No. 33 overall pick in 2024, Igor Chernyshov.<\/p>\n Anton Frondell, another contender for second-overall, was No. 4 on McKenzie\u2019s rankings.<\/p>\n The Sharks also have the No. 30 pick of the draft, gained from the trade that sent Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci to the Dallas Stars. This will be the third consecutive draft that the Sharks enter with two picks in the first round. McKenzie ranks Swedish center Eric Nilson in the 30 spot. But perhaps 6-foot-4-inch defenseman Blake Fiddler could drop from the No. 28 spot, or the Sharks could reach for Sam Dickinson\u2019s frequent defense partner with the London Knights, Henry Brzustewicz?<\/p>\n The 2025 Draft is on Friday.
