The Sharks are exploring offseason strategies to improve their team, focusing on realistic trades and free-agent acquisitions as the 2025 NHL Draft and free agency approach. While big names like Mitch Marner might be out of reach due to the Sharks’ reluctance to offer long-term contracts, potential trade targets include Mikael Granlund, who may return if he doesn’t fit with the Stars, and K’Andre Miller, a top-four defenseman for the Rangers, whose trade value could be influenced by offer sheet dynamics. The Sharks possess extra first-round picks and a deep prospect pool, but their status as the league’s worst team may hinder attracting quality players.
