San Jose wins draft lottery

The Sharks finished last in the overall standings (19-54-9) and retained their position in the lottery. San Jose had an 18.5% chance to win the lottery and a 25.5% chance to pick first.

Sharks general manager Mike Grier indicated that his team would select Celebrini with the first overall pick.

Celebrini said he spoke with Bedard and other top prospects who were drafted to rebuilding teams like the Sharks. "It's a unique situation just going into that," he said. "But it's kind of cool building something special there."
