The San Jose Sharks are in a state of flux as the March 7 NHL Trade Deadline approaches, actively looking to move players. Cody Ceci and Mikael Granlund have recently been traded, while Luke Kunin's stock is rising, especially after recovering from ACL surgery. Mario Ferraro is also a hot topic, as his defensive skills make him attractive to potential suitors. With just one year left on Ferraro's contract, the Sharks might consider trading him for a significant return.

Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are struggling, primarily due to injuries, especially to Darnell Nurse. They are in urgent need of a reliable top-four defender, with trade talks swirling around several players, including Ferraro, who could alleviate their defensive woes. The pressure is on both teams as they navigate the trade landscape.
