Three more San Jose Sharks appear to be headed to free agency come Jul. 1. 

Mario Ferraro, Ryan Reaves, and John Klingberg are all going to open market and will be UFA’s. 

Ryan Reaves has previously expressed a desire to stay in San Jose if the opportunity is there. 

Meanwhile Ferraro – the longest continuously tenured Shark on last year’s roster, having begun his NHL career in San Jose in 2019 – has multiple teams interested in him, according to David Pagnotta. With limited defenders available and plenty of need, he could be in for a decent payday.  

On Monday, the San Jose Sharks chose not to qualify RFA Philipp Kurashev, making him a UFA too.

Vincent Desharnais, Pavol Regenda, and Nick Leddy are other significant Sharks free agents.

Last week, GM Mike Grier said that he was still negotiating with Desharnais’s camp and was letting Regenda test free agency. San Jose is expected to let Leddy walk too.

Free agency opens at 9 AM PT on Jul. 1. 

Both San Jose Hockey Now and Jason Demers suggested Ryan Shea and Mason Marchment as potential free agency targets.
