The San Jose Sharks are stocked with elite prospects, starting with 18-year-old Ivar Stenberg—second overall in the 2026 draft—who’s already crushing it against NHLers in Sweden and is poised for his NHL debut this season. Keaton Verhoeff (9th overall) is taking a developmental route back to North Dakota, while Ryan Lin (21st) brings smarts and mobility to Denver, both seen as future top-pair defensemen. Forward Igor Chernyshov (33rd, 2024) is ready to contribute immediately after a strong pre-concussion season, and goalie Joshua Ravensbergen (first-round, 2025) is heading to Michigan State to refine his game under the Sharks’ goalie staff—all signaling a bright future for San Jose.
