Sharks GM Dean Lombardi traded for LW Adam Graves [NYR] on the second day of the NHL entry draft.

4.G-Dimitri Patzold [Germany]
5.F-Tomas Plihal [Czech]
6.RW-Ryan Clowe [QMJHL]

Marcel Goc goes first

Marcel Goc [6'1, 187lbs, Born: Aug 24, 1983], the first SJ pick Saturday, is a talented young center playing his second year in the German elite league.

Goc was ranked the 12th best European forward prospect by the Central Scouting Bureau before the draft.

It will likely be two years before Marcel joins Marco for bratwurst in downtown SJ.
