If the Sharks drafted Mrtka or Hensler this year, it would probably be 5-7 years before he is ready to take over the top spot from Andersson.
In short, the Sharks do not need one or the other, they need both. I am not sure how many teams are willing to part with a top pair D and D prospects.

Fully agree. Also don’t see CBJ or DET as that enticing when players ranked 12 could go 18 or whatever. Gotta think CC wants top 10 minimum. Mews and Andersson would be very enticing to a team needing both a prospect and an immediate impact like the Sharks need.
Others I would explore, Seattle or Buffalo.
