Here's what NHL scouts were thinking as the SJSharks made their 10 picks in the 2023 NHL Draft:
Scout No. 3 is a fan:"I know teams were looking to trade up for Musty."
"He's out of shape," Scout No. 3 said bluntly."If he gets his off-ice training in shape, he has potential to become a goal-scoring power winger. Lacks playmaking ability.The Sharks traded up with the Carolina Hurricanes to grab 6-foot-3 center Brandon Svoboda at No. 71, parting with their No. 94 and No. 100 picks in the process.
"Really smart. Offensive talent," Scout No. 1 said."Plays hard for a little guy as well. Good vision and puck movement. Great shot. Just can struggle to defend due to size and reach. Can be a little passive defensively.""I'm not a fan of Landen," Scout No. 3 admitted.Scout #2 was along the same lines: “Not the smartest player, not much skill, but he’s big and he can skate.
Finally, the Sharks selected 6-foot-3 center David Klee at No. 196 and 6-foot-2 winger Yegor Rimashevskiy at No. 203.
