"So right now, I'm just getting ready to rock and roll here, and I'm getting excited for the season, so I'm patient. I'm just trying to get ready here, and how I perform is most important for myself as an individual entering the season. I'm a leader on this team. I've got to be here for my teammates and be the best that I can be so we can win more games this year."
"Ferraro, who turned 27 on Wednesday and just recently became a dad for the first time, has played 408 games with the Sharks since he made the NHL roster out of camp as a rookie before the 2019-2020 season. The Sharks, though, haven't had a winning season in that time, and one veteran teammate after another has been traded to other teams as Ferraro experienced the depths of the organization's total teardown."
"Defenseman Mario Ferraro holds the distinction of being the San Jose Sharks' longest tenured player as he enters his seventh season with the organization. The question now is whether there will be an eighth season in San Jose. Ferraro, an alternate captain with the Sharks since the 2021-22 season, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer as he enters the final year of a four-year, $13 million contract he signed in Aug. 2022."
Mario Ferraro enters his seventh season with the San Jose Sharks as the team's longest-tenured player and an alternate captain since 2021-22. He will become an unrestricted free agent after this season and is in the final year of a four-year, $13 million contract signed in August 2022. No negotiations on a new contract have occurred so far, and general manager Mike Grier has not re-signed major pending UFAs since taking over. Ferraro, age 27 and recently a first-time father, has played 408 NHL games with San Jose since 2019-20. He remains patient, focusing on performance and leadership while hoping for a long-term extension to stay through the rebuild.
