Credit: AP Photo/Ted S. Warren Trade rumors surrounding San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro are gaining steam as he enters the final year of his four-year, $13 million contract. With the 2025–26 NHL season looming and free agency on the horizon, multiple reports indicate that both Ferraro and the Sharks could be open to a move. Several contending teams have already shown interest in acquiring the reliable blue-liner. Mario Ferraro trade rumors grow as San Jose Sharks reshape defensive core ahead of final contract year According to The Fourth Period, Mario Ferraro hasn't formally requested a trade, but he is open to a fresh start elsewhere. With the Sharks in full rebuild mode and having added three new defensemen this offseason, Ferraro's role and future in San Jose appear uncertain. The Sharks are reportedly willing to explore trade options for the 27-year-old alternate captain before he hits unrestricted free agency in 2026. TFP notes that 'teams that reached out during the season will poke around this offseason,' signaling a real chance that Ferraro could be moved in the coming months. Ranked No. 9 on TFP's Summer Trade List, he is viewed as a valuable depth addition for playoff-contending teams. Ferraro brings grit, leadership, and durability to the table, qualities that could prove essential during a long postseason run. Playoff contenders circling as San Jose Sharks' Mario Ferraro remains without NHL postseason experience Despite playing six seasons with the Sharks, Ferraro has yet to appear in an NHL playoff game. Still, his consistent effort and leadership have earned him recognition, including the Sharks' Media Good Guy Award for two consecutive seasons. He played 78 games in 2024–25, recording five goals and 12 assists while continuing to rank among the league leaders in blocked shots. His playing style, physical, shot-blocking, and team-first makes him a natural fit as a No. 4 or No. 5 defenseman on a deeper roster. Teams like the Colorado Avalanche, Winnipeg Jets, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Calgary Flames have all been linked to Ferraro in recent reports. As the Sharks prepare for another rebuilding season, Mario Ferraro's time in San Jose may be nearing its end. While nothing is finalized, both sides appear open to a move that could benefit Ferraro's career and the team's long-term plans. Expect trade talks to intensify as the offseason progresses. FAQs: 1. When did Mario Ferraro make his NHL debut? He made his NHL debut on October 2, 2019. 2. What is Mario Ferraro's nationality? He is Canadian.

NHL Rumors: Dillon Dube drawing interest from Sharks, Kraken, and Islanders after being cleared of sexual assault charges
Dillon Dube, cleared in his trial, aims for an NHL comeback (Getty Images) After being found not guilty in his recent trial, former Calgary Flames forward Dillon Dube is officially a free agent and looking to make his return to the NHL. Once considered a promising talent on the rise, Dube's development was derailed by off-ice distractions that plagued his final season in Calgary. But now that his name is legally cleared, several teams in need of depth and speed may see him as a low-risk, high-reward addition. San Jose Sharks could offer the cleanest slate and a chance at redemption Arguably the most logical landing spot for Dube is San Jose, a team desperate to improve its bottom-six forward group. The Sharks are still recovering from a dismal 2024-25 season, finishing 32nd overall. With a roster patchworked by failed free-agent experiments and unready prospects, San Jose could benefit from Dube's experience and offensive upside. In 2022-23, the winger tallied 18 goals and 45 points at age 24—a level of production the Sharks would welcome with open arms. Players like Ryan Reaves still occupy roster spots, but Dube could help move the needle for a team clearly in rebuilding mode. Seattle Kraken need insurance as injuries loom and depth thins The Kraken have made smart moves this offseason, but their bottom-six remains questionable. With players like John Hayden and Mitchell Stephens struggling to stay in the NHL lineup, and injury concerns hovering, Seattle could see Dube as a strategic addition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo 'Jani Nyman might be in and out of the lineup,' a source notes. 'And injuries could flare up for the forward group again.' Seattle has the cap space and playoff ambitions—signing Dube on a one-year deal could provide both depth and flexibility. New York Islanders need stability after injury-riddled season The Islanders know firsthand how devastating injuries can be to roster continuity. With new additions like Jonathan Drouin carrying injury baggage, the team would be wise to bolster its forward group with reliable depth. Dube could immediately challenge players like Pierre Engvall or Emil Heineman for a spot, adding speed and versatility in case of another injury wave. With a clean slate, a chip on his shoulder, and plenty of teams in need, Dillon Dube's second act in the NHL may be just around the corner. Also Read: Justice denied?

Devils Sign Fascinating Prospect To New Deal
The New Jersey Devils have announced that they have signed restricted free agent forward Thomas Bordeleau to a one-year, two-way contract for the 2025-26 season. Bordeleau was acquired by the Devils earlier this off-season from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Shane Bowers. This was after Bordeleau recorded 14 goals, 24 assists, and 38 points in 59 games with the Sharks' AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, in 2024-25. He also appeared in one game for the Sharks this past season, where he was held off the scoresheet. Bordeleau showed some promise during the 2023-24 season with the Sharks. In 27 games with the Pacific Division club, he scored six goals and recorded 11 points. As a result, the 2020 second-round pick is an interesting young player that the Devils have brought in. It will be intriguing to see if Bordeleau can take a step forward in his development next season with the Devils from here. In 44 career NHL games, Bordeleau has recorded six goals, 12 assists, and 18 points.
