The San Jose Sharks selected 18-year-old centre Michael Misa with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft on Friday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, reinforcing the club’s youth-focused rebuild. Misa dominated the Ontario Hockey League last season, amassing a league-best 134 points—62 goals and 72 assists—in 65 games for the Saginaw Spirit, the most prolific OHL campaign since Patrick Kane’s 145-point effort in 2007. Analysts describe him as a dual-threat scorer with elite speed and play-driving ability. The choice gives San Jose consecutive top-two draft selections after taking Macklin Celebrini first overall in 2024. General manager Mike Grier, who fielded trade offers for this year’s pick, ultimately followed consensus rankings that pegged Misa as the draft’s second-best prospect. With Misa’s selection, the draft opened with back-to-back OHL players for the first time since 2010, underscoring the junior circuit’s current strength. Later in the first round, the Anaheim Ducks added winger Roger McQueen at No. 10, punctuating the night by flying the pick to Disneyland in a promotional helicopter ride.
