San Jose Sharks eye blue line boost with trade deadline looming. Could Brandon Carlo, Logan Stanley, or Connor Murphy become the key to shoring up the defense and fueling a playoff push?

JD Young examines the pros and cons of adding Carlo’s shutdown talents from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Stanley’s imposing 6’7” presence with the Winnipeg Jets, and Murphy’s veteran steadiness from the Chicago Blackhawks. Key topics include each player’s contract situation, defensive metrics, injury concerns, and fit within the Sharks’ evolving roster. The discussion also weighs possible trade costs, the strategic need for a strong penalty-killing defenseman, and whether San Jose should prioritize long-term value over rental solutions.

Can the Sharks land the right upgrade without sacrificing future assets? This episode breaks down realistic trade targets and what their arrival could mean for San Jose’s playoff ambitions.
