## Resource

San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier is racing to lock down key young stars Collin Graf and Will Smith before they become free agents or demand higher pay. Graf, who posted 21 goals and 46 points last season, is nearing a deal, while Smith—eligible for an extension—is a top priority. The Sharks are negotiating with Smith’s agent this summer, eyeing a long-term contract similar to Macklin Celebrini’s, though Grier insists Celebrini’s deal won’t dictate their strategy. With both players central to the team’s future, securing them now could be the foundation of a championship run.
