Labanc is no stranger to trade rumors, as the Sharks have listened to offers for him for quite some time. As a result of this, it would not be surprising in the slightest to see the winger moved. While playing at his best, he can be a solid middle-six forward, so it would not be surprising if he generates interest, especially near the deadline.

Duclair, on the other hand, was acquired by the Sharks earlier this summer in a cap dump move. With the Sharks rebuilding and Duclair entering the final year of his current deal, he stands out as a prime rental candidate. Like Labanc, he is a nice middle-six forward who several clubs would love to have.

We will need to wait and see if either of these forwards get dealt this season from here.
