Would the San Jose Sharks trade the No. 2 pick?<\/p>\n
On Thursday, NHL insider Chris Johnston noted that the Toronto Maple Leafs and St. Louis Blues have made offers for the second-overall pick.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Leafs have been one of the teams that have been knocking at the door of San Jose trying to get the No. 2 pick too,\u201d\u00a0Johnston said on his podcast<\/a>. \u201cThe St. Louis Blues seem to have a high degree of motivation to try to get up and get No. 2. They now have four first-rounders in the draft and maybe can package some of those as a way to get closer to the top, and perhaps all the way up to No. 2.\u201d<\/p>\n St. Louis, of course, took consensus No. 2 prospect Ivar Stenberg\u2019s older brother Otto in the first round of the 2023 Draft.<\/p>\n In addition to the first-overall pick, the Maple Leafs have the Buffalo Sabres\u2019 second-round pick this year and the Colorado Avalanche\u2019s first round pick next year. 23-year-old winger Matthew Knies has also been in and out of trade rumors.<\/p>\n The Blues have picks No. 11 (own), 15 (Justin Faulk trade), 16 (Jordan Kyrou trade), and 29 (Brayden Schenn trade). They could potentially package some of those picks to move up the board.<\/p>\n Can expect St. Louis to be among teams looking slide up to as high as #2. Willing to deal and have the assets to appease San Jose. Looking to capitalize off of their draft capital to make immediate upgrades to roster. #stlblues<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Andy Strickland (@andystrickland) June 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Sharks, however, seem to be prioritizing high-end 20-something help for their blueline right now, i.e. Bo Byram, which the Maple Leafs and Blues don\u2019t appear to have available.<\/p>\n San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier<\/a> did allude to a \u201creal interesting\u201d offer for the No. 2 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n AT SAN JOSE HOCKEY NOW\u2026<\/p>\n Laila Edwards joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast!
