San Jose Sharks' Remarkable 3rd Round Draft Anguish
September 2nd, 2018 In the offseason, we typically cover subjects which aren't quite as serious or perhaps a bit quirky. In keeping with this spirit, we'll review one of the quirkiest and most frustrating of all San Jose Sharks histories. We'll start at the beginning of the franchise,...
