After multiple seasons without a playoff appearance, the Sharks have remained publicly adamant about the lack of interest in a rebuild, instead looking to "reset" the roster going forward.

The most recent mock draft from The Athletic has the Sharks selecting Michigan center Kent Johnson at No. 7. Johnson was one of the top players in the Big Ten last season and shows promise as a future forward in the NHL.

Doug Wilson and the front office also could be looking to bolster their depth at forward and potentially add another goaltender in the later rounds, now that Alexei Melnichuk and Josef Korenar appear close to cracking the Sharks' active roster.

We'll see who the Sharks end up selecting on July 23 when the first round gets underway.
