The San Jose Sharks traded player Luke Kunin to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick, falling short of their initial ask for a third-round pick. As the trade deadline approaches, the Sharks' roster continues to change, losing a player who provided both on-ice toughness and leadership in the locker room. This trade signifies the Sharks' ongoing adjustment to their roster and reflects a decrease in the market's demand, as shown in previous interests by other teams, such as the Maple Leafs.
The Sharks traded Luke Kunin to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a fourth-round pick, marking a significant change in their roster as trade deadlines approach.
The return for Kunin is reportedly a 2025 fourth-round pick, which is lower than what the Sharks were initially willing to accept.
Losing Kunin leaves a gap in locker room leadership for the Sharks, following the earlier trades of Jake Walman and Nico Sturm.
Kunin's offensive contribution has been minimal, with his WAR (wins above replacement) statistic sitting at a disappointing 0%.
