The San Jose Sharks are considering possible trade acquisitions to enhance their defense ahead of the 2025 NHL trade deadline, despite having already traded some key players. They are exploring the trade values of several players including pending UFAs and examining options like Bowen Byram, K'Andre Miller, and Noah Dobson, all young defensemen. Improving defensive capabilities is crucial for the Sharks' rebuild, particularly to align with younger talents like Macklin Celebrini. NHL scouts have weighed in on Byram's potential fit, highlighting both his offensive skills and defensive potential.
For San Jose to take the next step in its rebuild, it needs to improve its defense a lot. Preferably, the Sharks can do so with a young blueliner who can grow with the likes of Macklin Celebrini and company.
Byram seems more likely to move, just because the Sabres already have so much invested in their blueline between No. 1 picks Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power.
