This was my thought going into this years draft when everyone was predicting the Sharks taking Misa, it wasn't going to end well. They already had two top C, they didn't need to draft another. Now Misa is stuck behind them, limiting his playing time and his earning potential. Why is he going to be happy about that, he's not.
The Sharks should have traded that pick for a haul, or at least a player/players (cough Anderson cough) that filled in the gaps that allowed them to move forward, rather than continueing to languish at the bottom. Instead they wanted another shiny new toy, which was the wrong move imo.
