The San Jose Sharks have tried to address their organizational depth on defense in recent weeks, and as February has turned into March, their chances of winning the NHL draft lottery — and thereby drafting a future star forward such as Connor Bedard — have only increased.
Those additions might only go so far – in terms of being a Stanley Cup contender again — if the Sharks can’t find a goalie to grow with that group.
Unearthing that type of netminder, either through a trade or free agency, will be at or near the top of general manager Mike Grier’s to-do list once his offseason gets underway.
