As the NHL trade deadline approaches, the San Jose Sharks are reportedly holding out Luke Kunin from their lineup to manage one of their tradeable assets. Kunin, a 27-year-old forward under a one-year contract, has been a reliable player with 18 points in 63 games this season. Meanwhile, the Sharks activated Nikolai Kovalenko off injured reserve, looking to secure their third consecutive win against the Colorado Avalanche. With Kunin's uncertain trade future, the focus remains on managing their roster efficiently at the deadline.
Kunin, 27, signed a one-year, $2.75 million contract with the Sharks last offseason and is a pending unrestricted free agent.
Asked late last month about the possibility of being traded, Kunin said, "I'm focused on today. I'm focused on getting better in practice and having a good day here."
