Kevin Kurz of The Athletic: (mailbag) The Sharks ‘attempted spending’ will happen this offseason as they will likely look to add a big-name free agent or two. The Sharks likely don’t have enough assets to acquire a big-name at the trade deadline.
The Sharks smartest move before the deadline may be to hold pat after acquiring Eric Fehr.
A modest upgrade at forward could cost them a prospect and/or a draft pick. They don’t have a second- or third-round draft pick this year. They are unlikely to give up their first-round pick.
