"The San Jose Sharks and the New York Rangers have been linked together a lot in headlines over the past few weeks, mostly when it comes to trade rumors. There are rumors that the Sharks could be secret suitors for Artemi Panarin, the 34-year-old winger who's on an expiring contract. There are also rumors that the Sharks could be in the market for a young defenseman, perhaps Braden Schneider, a 24-year-old defenseman who already has 337 NHL games under his belt."
"Of the two, Schneider is a better fit for the Sharks, who are looking to add a piece that doesn't just fit now but also the future of the team. The 24-year-old would instantly become one of the better defensemen on the team and help solidify the Sharks' defense. It would also make a trade of Mario Ferraro more palatable if that's the route the Sharks choose to go as the trade deadline nears."
The San Jose Sharks and New York Rangers have been frequently linked through trade rumors, including interest in Artemi Panarin and Braden Schneider. Braden Schneider, a 24-year-old defenseman with 337 NHL games, represents a better long-term fit for the Sharks than 34-year-old winger Artemi Panarin. Schneider would immediately improve San Jose's defensive corps and could make trading Mario Ferraro more acceptable ahead of the deadline. The Sharks beat the Rangers 6-5 in overtime on Oct. 23. San Jose is 25-21-3, fifth in the Pacific, while New York is 21-24-6 and struggling in the Eastern Conference. Panarin leads New York with 56 points; Mika Zibanejad has 21 goals. New York will be missing key players, including defenseman Adam Fox and its goaltender.
