The San Jose Sharks are under pressure as they approach free agency with only $51.41 million committed against a $70.6 million salary cap floor, requiring an additional $19.19 million. To meet this minimum requirement, the Sharks need to engage in free agency effectively and consider acquiring bad contracts from other teams. Potential targets include Matt Dumba, a right-shot defenseman from the Dallas Stars, and Thatcher Demko from the Vancouver Canucks, who could provide the team with necessary roster spots and help in trade negotiations down the line.
