San Jose's Hunt for Blue Line Talent INTENSIFIES | Are Byram, Anderson, or Murphy the Answer?

JD Young examines three defensive trade targets from Frank Seravalli's top 20 list, exploring their potential fit with the San Jose Sharks' rebuilding efforts. Bowen Byram of the Buffalo Sabres stands out as an enticing option, offering offensive upside and the potential to become a franchise cornerstone. However, his injury history and likely high acquisition cost present significant considerations. Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames brings offensive skills to the table, but recent defensive struggles raise questions about his long-term value. Connor Murphy of the Chicago Blackhawks rounds out the trio as a steady, defensive-minded player whose penalty-killing abilities and leadership could stabilize San Jose's blue line. Young weighs each target's strengths, weaknesses, and potential impact on the Sharks, considering system fit and acquisition costs. This episode provides an in-depth analysis of these defensive options as San Jose looks to strengthen its roster through trades.
