'Open to a Change of Scenery': San Jose Sharks Defenseman Likely On His Way Out of the Team
Mario Ferraro has long been a trade candidate out of San Jose, and now The Fourth Period have revealed he is open to a move at some point in the near future.
No one in the NHL is building a stronger core than the San Jose Sharks, with the team boasting names like Macklin Celebrini, Michael Misa, Will Smith, Quentin Musty and others as they look to pull themselves out of a lengthy rebuild.
One intriguing piece that could be around for the future or traded now is 26-year old Mario Ferraro who has been with the team since 2019, but now, it appears he may be leaning towards the latter.
According to The Fourth Period, Ferraro hasn't yet officially requested a trade, but with his prime potentially being wasted away on a rebuilding team, he's become open to a potential change of scenery.
"He hasn't asked for a trade, but he would be open to a change of scenery"
Over the six years he's spent in the NHL, Ferraro has tallied 17 goals and 91 points in 407 games played, and while he's not taken the leap to being a fantastic defenseman, he has been very solid, and if the Sharks were a little further along in their rebuild, he'd no doubt be a key piece of their lineup.
As far back as this past season, the Sharks have reportedly been listening to offers on Ferraro, and while he's not been moved yet, with the timeline for this young core, if the right offer comes along, they may not be able to pass it up.
Ultimately though, given that the team are still a few years away, if they can get a solid young piece or a draft pick in exchange for a 26-year old just entering his prime, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Mike Grier pull the trigger on a deal before the 2026 trade deadline.
