2024 NHL Draft Profile: HC Plzeň defenseman Adam Jiříček

Locked On Sharks - Daily Podcast On The San Jose Sharks

Adam Jiříček was on his way to being a top 10 draft in the upcoming draft before a knee injury at World Juniors knocked him out for the rest of the season. Tony Ferrari of The Hockey News joins to profile the Czech defenseman and why he could be worth the risk for the San Jose Sharks. We examine what type of defenseman Jiříček projects to be in the National Hockey League and how he compares to his brother, who was a top-five pick. We also discuss why Jiříček makes sense for the Sharks at 14 and how soon he could be in North America. Finally, we explore Macklin Celebrini's impact on the Sharks, including why it could make Will Smith's transition to the NHL easier.
