The San Jose Sharks possess considerable cap space but face challenges in acquiring a right-shot defenseman. The buyout of Marc-Edouard Vlasic indicates a desire to focus on the right side. Recent signings of other defensemen by different teams further diminish available options. Among the 36 free agent defensemen, the list shrinks when considering factors like team aspirations. Re-signing familiar players Cody Ceci and Jan Rutta is not advisable given their prior performance, as the team needs to improve upon last season's struggles. General Manager Grier must weigh his options carefully moving forward.
San Jose Sharks have a ton of cap space, but finding a free agent right-shot defenseman won't be easy. The list is very short after exclusions.
Currently, there are 36 free agent defensemen available, but many are not suitable for the Sharks due to their aspirations or past performance.
Getting back with ex-players like Cody Ceci and Jan Rutta isn't advisable, as their previous contributions led to a league-worst goal differential.
Grier must make critical decisions whether to pursue experienced players or take chances on alternatives that could align with the team's future.
