With no first-round pick (as of now), this first round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft might be a bit of a bummer for Sharks fans — especially watching the Anaheim Ducks use the Sharks’ original pick, thanks to a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. Still, we’re here to judge the mistakes of the rest of the league as a top prospect inevitably falls too far down and a projected third rounder gets taken in the top ten.
