San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier indicates there will be no significant contract negotiations with pending unrestricted free agents ahead of the March 7 NHL trade deadline. The team has seven UFAs, with center Mikael Granlund being the most notable due to his performance. Grier emphasizes the need to align the players' contract demands with the organization’s future vision. While he expresses openness to potential trades, he hasn't engaged in extension discussions yet, focusing on the overall value for the franchise.
I have to do what's best for the organization, short-term and long-term. Granny's been great for us... I haven't had any conversations about extensions.
It's important for me to have an open mind about where we're going and what another team might be willing to offer... weigh it against the value of keeping those players.
