Caleb Malhotra is rising like a bullet?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what Cam Robinson\u2019s NHL scouts poll suggests: Robinson spoke with 10 scouts who shared their individual top-32 2026 Draft lists<\/a>. Perhaps surprisingly, center Malhotra was the consensus No. 2, and not winger Ivar Stenberg.<\/p>\n The San Jose Sharks have the No. 2 and 20 picks.<\/p>\n It seems unlikely that the center-rich Sharks would select Malhotra, but perhaps this makes the second-overall more valuable in trade?<\/p>\n Gavin McKenna was No. 1, Stenberg No. 3, and Carson Carels was the top-ranked defenseman at No. 4.<\/p>\n At No. 19 through 21, this scouts poll had, in order, winger Adam Novotny, defenseman Tommy Bleyl, and center Alexander Command.<\/p>\n At San Jose Hockey Now\u2026<\/p>\n Who is available for PWHL San Jose<\/a> to sign after the existing teams released their protection lists?<\/p>\n Ryan Reaves is a Stanley Cup Final correspondent:<\/p>\n Ryan Reaves made sure to sneak the word advantageous into his interview with Seth Jarvis! \ud83e\udd2d<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa: Game 1 of the #StanleyCup<\/a> Final is TONIGHT at 8p ET on ABC, @Sportsnet<\/a>, and @TVASports<\/a>! pic.twitter.com\/tmdYkcbC2I<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NHL (@NHL) June 2, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Keaton Verhoeff<\/a> spoke about meeting the San Jose Sharks and more.<\/p>\n #SJSharks<\/a> Combine dinner update: They took Reid out for dinner on Tuesday, Stenberg out on Friday<\/p>\n \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) June 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Joe Pavelski<\/a> is still helping Tomas Hertl score.<\/p>\n To clarify some misconceptions that I\u2019m reading: Leafs & Sharks aren\u2019t scheduled to take McKenna out to dinner this week, they may have met otherwise.<\/p>\n Also, teams meet\/dine with players separately at Combine, there aren\u2019t group meetings with multiple teams and 1 player at once<\/p>\n \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) June 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Other Sharks News\u2026<\/p>\n Five items on Mike Grier\u2019s agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bay Area college students<\/a> pitched innovative ideas for the future of hockey.<\/p>\n A review of Nick Leddy\u2019s season<\/a>.<\/p>\n TONIGHT: Following the conclusion of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, make sure to tune into @abc7newsbayarea<\/a> for the After The Game show. #SJSharks<\/a> forward Kiefer Sherwood will join anchor Larry Beil in the studio pic.twitter.com\/al3vOtljJC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 San Jose Sharks PR (@SanJoseSharksPR) June 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The #SJSharks<\/a> need another scoring winger in their top six.
