Sharks Linked To Another Expensive Blue-Line Swing

San Jose keeps showing up in the same kind of rumors that usually start with cap pain and end with somebody asking how badly a team wants to move money. The fact that the Sharks are named as a landing spot for a high-paid defenseman says this is less about a splash and more about a market search. These kinds of deals are usually messy before they get simple, and the real question is which side blinks first. The rebuild math is never romantic, but it does keep the phones busy.
