Now, eyes are turning to their defense, especially the right side, where veteran blue liner Justin Falk from the St. Louis Blues could be a perfect fit. Earlier this week, reports highlighted Falk as a top trade candidate. At 33 years old, he's still playing at a high level and could really strengthen the Sharks' top four defensemen.
Fans and analysts are buzzing about the impact Falk would bring. He's great offensively from the blue line, kills penalties effectively, and shines on the power play, giving San Jose more balance on the back end. What makes him even more appealing is his contract. He signed through the end of the 2026-27 season with a $6.5 million cap hit, so he's no short term. Rental heat helped for years.
Meanwhile, Falk's having a strong year on a struggling Blues team. In 52 games, he's racked up 11 goals, 13 assists, and 24 points, tying him for 7th in goals among all NHL defensemen. This story is shared with support from our sponsor. Peace is closer than you think.
