The San Jose Sharks will be looking offload plenty of their defensemen in order to rebuild their squad.
The franchise has been quite busy at the transfer market, but that hasn’t seemed to have worked as they still linger in the bottom half of the table and unlikely to be in contention for a playoff spot.
In September GM Mike Grier revealed he’d be open to moving veteran forwards Tomas Hertl and Logan Couture if either player approached him about a trade. So far, a request hasn’t come, but that might be about to change very soon.
Mario Ferraro is the defenseman Friedman believes could spur the most interest from other teams. The 25-year-old has a contract until 2025-26 with an affordable average annual value of $3.25 million.
