Cole McKinney, the San Jose Sharks' selection with the 53rd overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, seems to have taken a major step forward offensively in his second collegiate season.
San Jose Sharks prospect Cole McKinney is demonstrating notable offensive growth during his sophomore season at the University of Michigan.
