There weren’t any internet-breaking, blockbuster trades over the weekend at the NHL draft in Buffalo. The Sharks didn’t make a single move other than using the five picks they arrived with, none higher than the 60th overall selection in the second round in which they chose center Dylan Gambrell.
The next notable date on the NHL calendar is on the horizon, though, as Friday, July 1 marks the beginning of free agency. The Sharks will have some work to do, considering general manager Doug Wilson all but confirmed that Dainius Zubrus, Nick Spaling, Roman Polak and James Reimer would not be re-signed after they provided some needed depth for the Western Conference champs down the stretch and in the playoffs.
