Also Sharks are looking to spend money in the UFA pool. I mentioned Ekblad being a target on defense in previous posts. Up front I was told Marner wouldn't be a realistic option. Guys like Ehlers, Boeser and Bennett were names thrown out.

Makes a lot of sense. After a top pairing defender, a high-end, big bodied winger is what they need.
Martone also just got called in to join Team Canada at the Worlds. Might get a sneak peak of how he looks with Celebrini before the draft, which could lock in their pick. Makes sense to me.
