Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro<\/a> has been involved in trade speculation for a couple of years now and with him entering the final year of his contract and San Jose still rebuilding, that speculation should only intensify in the coming months.\u00a0 However, his preference appears to be to stick it out with the team that drafted him in the second round back in 2019.\u00a0 Speaking with reporters including Max Miller of Sharks Hockey Digest<\/a>, the 27-year-old stated \u201cI\u2019d love to sign long-term here, I want to win here.\u201d\u00a0 However, he also noted that no talks about an extension have started.\u00a0 Ferraro is set to carry a $3.25MM cap charge for the upcoming season and should be in line to land a long-term deal in the $5.5MM to $6MM range next summer if he makes it to the open market.<\/p>\n

More from San Jose:<\/p>\n

Winger William Eklund<\/a> suffered a wrist injury that required surgery in one of Sweden\u2019s tune-up games for the Worlds last May, taking him out of the tournament. However, he told reporters including Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now (Twitter link<\/a>) that he has fully recovered from the injury.\u00a0 Eklund inked a three-year, $16.8MM extension on the opening day of free agency, taking away any possible distraction of being in a contract year.\u00a0 He\u2019ll look to build off the 17-goal, 58-point effort he had last season in his second full NHL campaign.
\nWinger Cameron Lund<\/a> suffered an upper-body injury at last week\u2019s rookie tournament but it doesn\u2019t appear to be a long-term issue. Head coach David Warsofsky told reporters including Curtis Pashelka of The Mercury News (Twitter link<\/a>) that Lund is listed as day-to-day.\u00a0 The 21-year-old played in 11 games with San Jose down the stretch, picking up two goals and an assist in 11:30 per contest of playing time.
\nEarlier this offseason, veteran defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic<\/a> voiced<\/a> his displeasure about his buyout from San Jose, suggesting he was misled by the team at his exit interview. Asked to respond to that today, GM Mike Grier told reporters including Pashelka<\/a> that he doesn\u2019t have any regrets about how the situation was handled.\u00a0 While declining to get into a who-said-what discussion, Grier noted that Vlasic was indeed given a bit of a heads-up before the buyout was completed while his interpretation of the end-of-season meeting with the blueliner was that the possibility of him being let go from the final year of his contract was discussed.\u00a0 Vlasic is hoping to play this season but has yet to catch on with a team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro has been involved in trade speculation for a couple of years now and with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":199478,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5127],"tags":[32789,5,6209,814,4,519,168,5306,5305,1780,801],"class_list":{"0":"post-199477","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-jose-sharks","8":"tag-cameron-lund","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-marc-edouard-vlasic","11":"tag-mario-ferraro","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-san-jose","14":"tag-san-jose-sharks","15":"tag-sanjose","16":"tag-sanjosesharks","17":"tag-sharks","18":"tag-william-eklund"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115229153313203789","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
