What I’m Hearing on Day 1 of Free Agency: Sharks Sign Lindblom, Sturm, Nutivaara, Benning

2:50 PM

Correction, got bad info about this:

Grier says Carolina wasn't on Burns's 3-team trade list

Grier says #SJSharks have signed Nico Sturm, Markus Nutivaara, Matt Benning

1:59 PM

Thought Mattias Janmark could be a fit for the San Jose Sharks — was told no.

1:14 PM

Checking up on Rodrigues, he’s not coming to the Sharks.

1:05 PM

Was reaching because the Sharks need forwards, but Stastny to the Sharks isn’t happening. Forwards going fast though. Kubalik went for what I thought was a bargain rate.

12:39 PM

Burns's conditional pick: The conditional 2023 third-rounder will be the lower of Carolina’s two third round picks (CAR, PHI)

12:30 PM

Picking up a lot of useful info on Lorentz and Makiniemi. One source is really, really high on the goalie, which I’ll share soon. Another source not so much.

11:21 AM

It’s a two-year deal.

I’m told by the way that the market is slow on Jonathan Dahlen right now. Doesn’t mean it can’t pick up fast.

10:28 AM

Hearing San Jose Sharks non-qualified RFA Zach Sawchenko should sign elsewhere today. Good news for you Chunko fans!

10:05 AM

ANA signs Frank Vatrano 3x$3.65M

9:56 AM

Source tells me that Sharks haven’t reached out on Colin Miller yet…but with Burns going to Carolina, maybe they should.

9:54 AM

Sharks-Hurricanes trade:

Brent Burns and Lane Pederson for Steven Lorentz, goalie prospect Eetu Makiniemi and a conditional 2023 3rd-round pick. Sharks are retaining 33 percent of Burns contract. @TSNHockey @TheAthletic

9:52 AM

Hearing that the Carolina Hurricanes were on Brent Burns’s three-team trade list. So it doesn’t need his approval at the moment.

9:47 AM

The San Jose Sharks haven’t checked in on Mason Marchment. Might be out of their budgetary range?

9:45 AM

The San Jose Sharks, a source says, “are very interested” in Frank Vatrano. Vatrano was highly-regarded by scouts in my free agency preview:

9:35 AM

I saw a fit with the Sharks and Paul Stastny, but nothing there so far, I think.

9:26 AM
