Should Ivar Stenberg Go 2nd Overall In The NHL Draft?

Ivar Stenberg has quietly built one of the strongest resumes in the 2026 NHL Draft class. The Swedish winger produced historic numbers in the SHL, starred for Sweden internationally, and has become one of the most complete prospects available. Arvy and Manveer break down Stenberg's elite hockey IQ, two-way game, offensive production, NHL projection, and why many scouts believe he could step directly into an NHL lineup sooner than almost anyone else in this draft. We also debate one of the biggest questions surrounding the draft: Should the San Jose Sharks select Ivar Stenberg 2nd overall? Arvy argues that passing on the most NHL-ready player in the draft would be a mistake, while Manveer believes San Jose's need for a cornerstone defenseman should push Stenberg down the board. Could Ivar Stenberg become the steal of the draft if teams overthink this pick? #IvarStenberg #NHLDraft #NHLProspects #Hockey #SanJoseSharks
