"The San Jose Sharks have a lot of reasons to be hopeful for the years ahead. Mainly, the Sharks' young stars are starting to make an impact in the NHL. Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith are two of the brightest young stars in the league. Celebrini, especially, made an impression last season. He was named a finalist for the Calder Trophy as the best rookie from the 2024-25 NHL season."
"San Jose is not looking for a repeat performance, though. They were one of the most active teams this offseason, with Jeff Skinner, Dmitry Orlov, and Ryan Reaves just some of the names to join the team over the last few months. The intent is rather clear: the Sharks are aiming to be more competitive in 2025-26. San Jose does have a ton of work to do if they want to make the playoffs, though."
"The Sharks considered trading Mario Ferraro at the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. Ferraro, 26, was one of the team's best defensemen. More than this, he was signed for an extra season. At 26 years old, there was some room for him to grow, as well. Understandibly, San Jose set a very high praise for the left-shot rearguard. Also understandibly, they held firm when the price wasn't matched. Ferraro was not traded at last year's deadline, finishing the season with the Sharks."
San Jose has promising young stars Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, with Celebrini a finalist for the 2024-25 Calder Trophy. After failing to make the 2025 playoffs and finishing near the bottom, the team lost productive players at the 2025 trade deadline. The Sharks signed veterans including Jeff Skinner, Dmitry Orlov, and Ryan Reaves in an active offseason to increase competitiveness for 2025-26. Significant roster work remains, the club is expected to be sellers at the 2026 deadline, and players such as Mario Ferraro continue to appear in trade rumor conversations despite remaining with the team.
