Checking in on conditional picks for the San Jose Sharks with 10 games to go

This season is getting close to its natural conclusion. We know the Sharks will not go to the playoffs since they sit 5 points adrift at the bottom of the NHL standings. Time is running out on this season, and it cannot come soon enough. After last night's blown lead at home to the Chicago Blackhawks, this season cannot end soon enough. We'll see if the Sharks can make a few memories for the road, but it's been not very pleasant for the most part.

However, we get to look ahead to the draft, where the Sharks hope to have the first overall pick. But it isn't the only draft picks the team in Teal possesses. They have acquired a lot of draft choices this year through trades and deals. So, this will be a busy time for the organization, so we will use this time to evaluate all the options available when we get to the summer event at the Globe in Vegas.

Currently, the Sharks have the rights to nine different picks. Some of this will change, though, as conditions for picks are met or not. This number will also change. This also doesn't account for the fact that the Sharks could trade up or down on the draft floor. Teams like to maximize the value of their picks where they can, and the Sharks could opt to do that with pure numbers if they think it's the right thing to do.

So, with all that in mind, how are things looking on the picks the Sharks have acquired conditionally? Will the Sharks be getting them, and where will they be falling? Let's have a look together. It cannot be worse than watching the Sharks blow a 4-0 lead at home to the Chicago Blackhawks, so here we go!
