SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier has not had any serious contract negotiations with his large group of pending unrestricted free agents and said it’s unlikely he’ll sign any of those players to extensions before the NHL trade deadline on March 7.

San Jose Sharks list of pending UFAs includes Mikael Granlund, Luke Kunin, Nico Sturm, Cody Ceci, Jan Rutta, Vitek Vanecek and Alexandar Georgiev.

Only worry about what you can control.” That mantra will be heard across the NHL ahead of the Mar. 7 Trade Deadline. In the San Jose Sharks locker room, that means trade candidates like Luke Kunin and Cody Ceci.

San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier told reporters he will not close any doors for his veteran pending UFAs for the upcoming NHL Trade Deadline.

San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier held his mid-season availability on Tuesday night. Grier spoke on a wide range of topics, where the Sharks are in the standings, Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith’s seasons,

Never a huge goal-scorer, Granlund is on pace to hit 20 for the third time in his 13-year career and the first since 2017-18 with Minnesota. But the 32-year-old has been a point producer with the Sharks. He’s leading the team with 44 points in 51 contests after a scoring a team-high 60 points in 69 games last season.

Mikael Granlund swinging behind the Russia goal, heading for its right side. In the process, the center, then only 19 years old on May 13, 2011, put the puck on his blade and flung it behind Russia’s goalie, Konstantin Barulin. He scored.

Kunin’s in the final season of his deal, earning $2.7-million AAV, and does not have any trade protection. It makes sense for the Sharks to test the trade market on all of their pending free agents.

NASHVILLE — San Jose Sharks visit Bridgestone Arena to take on the Nashville Predators. Macklin Celebrini and Luke Kunin and Mikael Granlund (twice) and Jake Walman scored, but the Sharks lost 7-5. Period 1 Celebrini goal: Snipe!

The Sharks are expected to once again be sellers in advance of the March 7 trade deadline with the team well out of the playoff picture.
