San Jose Sharks
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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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:

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