The San Jose Sharks are embarking on a significant seven-game road trip, with potential player transfers looming as the NHL trade deadline approaches. Newly activated center Nico Sturm, a pending unrestricted free agent, expressed uncertainty regarding his future but affirmed his commitment to the team for the duration of the trip. General manager Mike Grier is exploring various trade options to enhance the team's future while remaining open to retaining some players if beneficial deals can be struck. The outcome of this road trip could influence the team's composition significantly.
I anticipate that something's going to happen in those two weeks that we're on the road realistically. I'm going to play 100% for the crest until they tell me otherwise.
It's just how you line up the value. If it's picks, it's picks. But I think we're also open to getting players that can help us right now.
General manager Mike Grier is not necessarily opposed to bringing some of those players back for next season but wants to see if some other NHL teams in the playoff picture are willing to meet his price.
Sturm has won a Stanley Cup, is an effective penalty killer, and is first among 157 NHL players who have taken at least 200 draws in faceoff percentage.
