Follow usThe San Jose Sharks will be open to hearing offers from other clubs about Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl.
That is what the general manager Mike Grier said and he is certainly no stranger to unexpected moves in order to strengthen his team.
Since taking over last July the Sharks have undergone a major rebuild, which saw elusive names such as Brent Burns, Timo Meier and Erik Karlsson leave.
And many have wondered whether captain Couture and Hertl would soon follow suit.
One obstacle, however, would be the asking price for both.
Couture carries an average annual value of $8 million through 2026-27 with a three-team list of preferred trade destinations. Hertl, meanwhile, is in the second season of an eight-year deal worth $8.137 million per year and a full no-movement clause until 2025-26, when he’ll have a modified no-trade clause.
