The San Jose Hockey Now Podcast is sponsored by Bring Hockey Back! Craig Button joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast to talk about the 2025 Draft! (41:39) He makes his case for Porter Martone for the No. 2 pick. But before we get to Craig, we discuss the San Jose Sharks’ pending agreement to stay at SAP Center until 2050. (3:20) We talk about Egor Afanasyev and a hidden drawback about being the worst team in the NHL. Also, a mid-May heatcheck on the Sharks’ RFAs (14:44). And does Keegan still want the San Jose Sharks to sign Mitch Marner after another Toronto Maple Leafs’ playoff disappointment? (25:34) And now, Craig! (41:39) Button talks about Martone over Michael Misa for the San Jose Sharks in his post-Draft Lottery mock draft. (43:25) We talk about drafting for need vs. Best Player Available. (45:50) Could Matthew Schaefer drop from No. 1? Sheng brings up a historical comp in defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, consensus 2002 No. 1 pick, who dropped to No. 3. (56:00) Thoughts on Anton Frondell and Victor Eklund, who maybe went lower in Button’s mock draft than expected? Button is really high on Sam Dickinson, and thinks that he’s NHL-ready.
