The San Jose Sharks<\/a> look to take advantage of the market to enhance their team as they gear up for a hopeful playoff run.<\/p>\n

According to San Jose Hockey Now<\/a>, the Sharks have shown interest in winger Artemi Panarin, who will be an unrestricted free agent after this season.<\/p>\n

Apparently the feeling is mutual. Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now<\/a> reported that Panarin would be interested in signing a contract extension with the Sharks.<\/p>\n

Panarin is being held out of the lineup<\/a> by the New York Rangers<\/a> as they explore a trade and is not expected to play before the Olympic break. The retooling Rangers<\/a> said they wouldn’t be offering him an extension. Panarin, who has a no-movement clause, is reportedly exploring an extension as part of a trade.<\/p>\n

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun said<\/a> some teams view Panarin as a “rental but aren’t ready to get into a big extension” while other teams believe the opposite.<\/p>\n

“Have the Sharks talked to them? Yes,” LeBrun said. “My understanding is the Sharks had a discussion with the Rangers. We know (Sharks general manager) Mike Grier and (Rangers general manager and president) Chris Drury have the history, (they) worked together in New York.”<\/p>\n

However, a skeptical LeBrun shut down rumors of a potential Sharks play for Panarin, due to their recent signings including re-signing 31-year-old forward Alexander Wennberg<\/a> to a three-year contract worth $18 million on Jan. 4.<\/p>\n

“But beyond that conversation, I’m not sure how serious San Jose wants to be here,” LeBrun said. “You know, they just traded for (Kiefer) Sherwood. They just signed Wennberg. So I wouldn’t have San Jose as a front-runner right now. We’ll see.”<\/p>\n
