San Jose Sharks just pulled off a bold gamble, trading their 27th pick in the 2026 draft for defenseman Michael Kesselring — a 26-year-old whose 2025 season was rough, with just two assists and frequent scratches. But here’s the catch: he’s a rare 6’5” right-shot defenseman with elite mobility and a breakout year in 2024-25 (7 goals, 29 points) that made him a coveted asset. Scouts are split on his ceiling, but his unique profile and potential make this a high-stakes, high-reward move — and only time will tell if Kesselring can rise to the occasion.
