Earlier this week, reports confirmed the Sharks offered Ferraro a short-term deal, likely two years, which he turned down.
He's pushing for something longer, probably four years or more, especially after seeing similar defensive players like Cody Ceci and Ryan Lindgren, laying four-year contracts last summer with other teams.
Ferraro has been a Sharks lifer since they drafted him in the second round back in 2017.
He's been their rock on defense through tough seasons, logging top four minutes around 22 minutes a night from his second year on, and he's the go-to guy on the penalty kill.
Plus, he's served as alternate captain since 2021-22.
This season, with the Sharks pushing for a wild card spot, Ferraro still pulling heavy minutes at 20-50 per game, third among defensemen, behind Dmitry Orlov and John Klingberg.
The team's resurgence has him playing some of his best hockey.
The big question now is whether they can bridge the gap before the March 6th trade deadline.
General Manager Mike Greer says he's open to keeping pending free agents like Ferraro if the team stays in playoff contention, even if it means risking losing them later.
Fans are hoping Ferraro stays put for the long haul.

Jason Robertson is lighting it up for the Dallas Stars this season.
The 26-year-old winger just scored the game-winning goal with a minute left against the St.
Louis Blues, lifting the puck past the goalie in a tight spot to secure a 3-2 win.
He's third in the NHL with 30 goals already, and in his career, he's up to 198, putting him 12th in franchise history after just four 26 games.
Earlier this week, the Stars snapped a slump following a shutout loss in Columbus.
Roberson's clutch play came right after a faceoff win by teammate Rup Hintz, showcasing his elite stick handling and quick release.
