While the majority of the San Jose Sharks‘ attention is likely focused on the first day of the 2026 NHL Draft, as they now hold three first-round draft picks, they have five picks on the second day as well.
The second pick the Sharks currently hold on Saturday’s portion of the draft will be a fourth-rounder that originally belonged to the Boston Bruins, the 120th overall selection.

A number of productive players have been drafted with the 120th overall pick, one of which played over 1,000 games in the NHL. Steve Larmer was a mainstay on the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1980’s and early 1990’s before he finished his career with the New York Rangers. He played 1006 career games, scoring 441 goals and just narrowly finishing above a point-per-game pace with 1012 career points in the process.
Mike Krushelnyski, mostly remembered for being a part of the Wayne Gretzky trade to the Los Angeles Kings in the modern age, was also drafted with the 120th overall selection and had a very respectable career. He finished his career with 897 games played, 241 goals and a total of 569 points.
Jaccob Slavin, Ben Chiarot, and current Sharks forward Philipp Kurashev are among the active players drafted with the 120th overall selection as well.
