Who are the San Jose Sharks targeting in free agency?
Here’s a running diary of what San Jose Hockey Now is hearing. Keep an eye on this space for regular updates today.
7:22 AM: Elliotte Friedman names the Sharks as a possibility for Brock Boeser. SJHN reported last week that the San Jose Sharks would have an interest, but weren’t likely to be a top choice for the sniper.
8:10 AM: Take one goaltending target off the Sharks’ list, Jake Allen is re-signing with the New Jersey Devils, per Kevin Weekes. He was going to be the top UFA goalie.
8:54 AM: Talks between the Sharks and William Eklund were characterized to me as “positive”. Eklund is eligible for a contract extension today. Don’t expect that. We’ll see if they can get an early extension done, that would be another good sign that they’re trying to come out of the rebuild.
9:08 AM: The San Jose Sharks checked in on Nikolaj Ehlers, but they weren’t on his short list.
9:11 AM: Don’t believe the Sharks were interested in Pius Suter.
