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.

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.

The Sharks have seven pending UFAs on one-way contracts in forwards Mikael Granlund, Luke Kunin and Nico Sturm, defensemen Ceci and Jan Rutta and goalies Vitek Vanecek and Alexandar Georgiev.

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.
