NHL Rumors: Goaltending Market, Rangers, Kraken, Predators, and Blues
Max Miller of SharksHockeyDigest: Sharks GM Grier said they took calls on defensemen Mario Ferraro and John Klingberg, and received some offers, but they weren’t close to what they were looking for.
“We were in on a few things throughout the week. But I wasn’t really in the rental market. We were more poking around and involved in things players that had some term,” Grier said. “We weren’t able to get some of the guys that we were interested in and made some offers on. That’s often the case this time of year. Prices are high.
Like I’ve always said, it’s an eye on the future, as well as balancing that out between the future and the here and now. I’ve got to decide how far you’re willing to go, and what type of assets you’re willing to give up.”
Grier wouldn’t confirm whether or not they were willing to use the Edmonton Oilers 2026 first-round pick in any of their talks.
