Dallas should too, but they are lacking 1sts.
If I'm San Jose I'm easily offering the Edmonton 1st for Whitecloud, trade for him and re-sign Ferraro and you actually have a decent defensive pair to throw out against other teams top lines.
He'd be more valuable for them based on team need and contract status than the questionable deal they made for Sherwood

Bruins, Sharks, Red Wings, Mammoth, Stars, perhaps even the Ducks.
I am a lot less confident in how Whitecloud stacks up against their depth charts but not all of those teams are looking for a top pair defender. Bruins, Red Wings, Stars could all argue that they have their top pair locked in and are primarily looking to upgrade their second pair.
What would be interesting is that Whitecloud's lack of trade protection would open the door for a trade with the Sabres. That was not possible with Andersson's NTC but if the Sabres view Whitecloud as an upgrade on their RD depth chart then perhaps they could enter the conversation.
