As the Sharks look to enhance their blue line this offseason, they may target several defensemen through free agency and trades. Potential free agents include Darren Raddysh, John Carlson, Jacob Trouba, and Rasmus Andersson, each bringing unique skills and leadership. For trades, Simon Nemec and Filip Hronek stand out as impactful options, particularly if the Sharks can navigate salary retention strategies. Upgrading their defense is essential for the Sharks to compete for a playoff spot next season.
