Sharks defenseman explains why trading Mario Ferraro would be 'a huge loss'
Briefly

Mario Ferraro significantly influences the San Jose Sharks' locker room environment with his energetic personality, bringing life to the team during down times. As a key player with strong statistics and on a contract set to expire soon, Ferraro's future with the team is uncertain as trade discussions loom. Despite his performance on the ice, his vital role as an alternate captain and uplifting presence might make him hard to replace if traded. The Sharks' general manager faces a pivotal decision regarding Ferraro's future before the NHL trade deadline.
"The days that he's quiet, the locker room tends to be more quiet. When he comes in hooting, hollering, and yelling, it lifts everyone up in there."
"While the Sharks might be able to have another defenseman fill those roles and take over that ice time at some point in the future, Ferraro's personality and presence would be hard to replace."
