Sharks Deadline: 8-Year Deals in Limbo | San Jose Sharks News

San Jose Sharks face a ticking clock before the contract deadline—only two players, Will Smith and Yaroslav Askarov, could realistically sign eight-year deals under the current labor agreement, which expires tomorrow. With GM Mike Grier favoring 3-5 year contracts, Smith’s willingness to take less money might make him the likeliest candidate, while Askarov’s high-risk, high-reward potential makes his deal a tougher call. Either way, an eight-year extension is unlikely after tomorrow, when the max term drops to seven years—but hockey never runs on predictions.
