Flames & Sharks Emerging as Potential Trade Partners

The Calgary Flames are entering this offseason as a team to watch on the trade market. With the Flames being in a rebuild, there is a real chance that they will end up trading away more of their veterans during the summer.

The San Jose Sharks, on the other hand, took a notable step forward this season and should be looking to boost their roster this summer because of this. Their biggest need is to improve their defense as they look to take that next step and get into the playoffs next year.

Due to this, the Sharks are certainly a team to keep an eye on when it comes to Flames defenseman Zach Whitecloud.

Whitecloud was a popular name in the rumor mill leading up to the trade deadline, and it is expected to carry over into the summer. With the Flames being rebuilders, it would be understandable if they looked to move Whitecloud for a nice return.

If the Sharks landed Whitecloud, he would be a very good addition to their top four and penalty kill. This would be big for a Sharks team that is looking to continue to get better. Due to this, San Jose is sticking out as a prime potential landing spot for Whitecloud.
