## Resource

San Jose Sharks face a pivotal offseason as Mario Ferraro’s contract projections signal a hefty payday—should Mike Grier re-sign the blue line anchor, or is it time to find a more cost-effective replacement? Potential deals and comparisons to Nikita Zadorov and Vladislav Gavrikov highlight the tough choices ahead, while the free agent market looms thin for defensemen. JD Young breaks down Evolving Hockey’s latest contract projections for the Sharks’ top UFAs and RFAs, including crucial decisions on Collin Graf, John Klingberg, Nick Leddy, and Vinnie Desharnais. The conversation covers why Graf’s value may warrant a longer extension, which depth pieces should return, and how the Sharks’ cap flexibility could shape their blue line overhaul. Will San Jose prioritize youth and upside, or lock in veterans for stability as another rebuild year approaches?
