Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro has been involved in trade speculation for a couple of years now and with him entering the final year of his contract and San Jose still rebuilding, that speculation should only intensify in the coming months. However, his preference appears to be to stick it out with the team that drafted him in the second round back in 2019. Speaking with reporters including Max Miller of Sharks Hockey Digest , the 27-year-old stated “I’d love to sign long-term here, I want to win here.” However, he also noted that no talks about an extension have started. Ferraro is set to carry a $3.25MM cap charge for the upcoming season and should be in line to land a long-term deal in the $5.5MM to $6MM range next summer if he makes it to the open market.
