Sharks 2021 Entry Draft Rounds 2-7 Recap

 The remaining rounds of the 2021 entry draft have wrapped up, with the Sharks making a total of nine selections in this year's entry draft. San Jose's remaining eight selections were made on the second day of the entry draft. They also traded the 71st overall pick to the Blues for the 81st and 177th picks.

I'll admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to players drafted in later rounds, explaining why I don't plan to go into detail regarding the Sharks' remaining eight selections. Players that get drafted in later rounds are less likely to become stars, pan out, or make the NHL at all, but there have certainly been exceptions to this as there have been hidden gems in rounds 2-7 throughout history. 

Besides the 7th overall selection in William Eklund, here are the rest of the Sharks' picks in this year's entry draft: 

Round 3, Pick 81: Benjamin Gaudreau (G), Sarnia Sting (OHL) 

Round 4, Pick 103: Gannon Laroque (D), Victoria Royals (WHL) 

Round 4, Pick 121: Ethan Cardwell (F), Barrie Colts (OHL) 

Round 5, Pick 135: Artem Guryev (D), Lindsay Muskies (OJHL) 

Round 5, Pick 156: Max McCue (F), London Knights (OHL) 

Round 6, Pick 167: Liam Gilmartin (F), London Knights (OHL) 

Round 6, Pick 177: Theo Jacobsson (F), Modo Jr. (Sweden) 

Round 7, Pick 199: Evgenii Kashnikov (D), Gatineau Olympiques (QMJHL) 

Be on the lookout for additional news coming up as the buyout period ends Tuesday and free agency begins on Wednesday.
