Michael Misa became the highest-drafted Saginaw Spirt in NHL history Friday after the San Jose Sharks tabbed Misa with the second pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. The New York Islanders had the first pick and used it on Erie defenseman Matthew Schaefer, and San Jose jumped on Misa to give the OHL the top two picks in the 2025 draft.

The Sharks found out at the May 5 NHL draft lottery that they would have the No. 2 selection and have now drafted inside the top seven four times since 2021, with Celebrini taken first overall last year, Smith the No. 4 pick in 2023 and Eklund going No. 7 to San Jose in 2021.

Doerrie predicted that the Islanders would use the No. 1 pick on Erie Otters defenseman Matthew Schaefer. The 17-year-old was limited to just 17 games in the 2024-25 season after he suffered a broken collarbone while playing for Canada at the 2025 World Juniors. In those 17 games, he scored five goals and had 22 points.
