The San Jose Sharks are enduring a challenging rebuilding season, currently positioned last in the Pacific Division with no playoff prospects in sight. General Manager Mike Grier is preparing for potential trades ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline on March 7. Key players such as Luke Kunin and Nico Sturm are available due to their expiring contracts. The team has already traded Cody Ceci and Mikael Granlund and is considering further moves, including possibly parting with goaltenders and other key assets amid numerous inquiries from interested teams.
Forwards Luke Kunin and Nico Sturm are playing on expiring contracts and are eligible to become unrestricted free agents July 1. The Sharks have made both players available and both are considered prime candidates to be moved by March 7 at 3pm ET.
Teams have inquired about some of San Jose's other players, including defenceman Mario Ferraro, who has another year remaining on his contract after this season.
Sharks goalies Alexandar Georgiev and Vitek Vanecek are also up for grabs, but the team has used up all three of its salary retention slots and both netminders might not be moved due to their cap figures - both are also in the final year of their respective contracts.
The NHL Trade Deadline is March 7; all trades must be completed that afternoon by 3:00 PM EST.
