With the NHL trade deadline approaching, the San Jose Sharks are taking strategic steps by sitting Luke Kunin during their game against the Colorado Avalanche. Kunin, a 27-year-old forward, is an unrestricted free agent after this season and has been viewed as a valuable asset by the team. Having scored 18 points this season, Kunin has been an important player for the Sharks. This decision coincides with the activation of Nikolai Kovalenko from injured reserve, as he returns to the lineup after injury, indicating the Sharks are preparing for potential trade maneuvers.
"I'm focused on today. I'm focused on getting better in practice and having a good day here, and whatever tomorrow brings, it brings, and we'll deal with it then."
Chris Johnston of TSN and The Athletic first reported that Kunin would not play against the Avalanche as the Sharks manage one of their remaining moveable assets before the NHL trade deadline on Friday at noon (PST).
