Inside the Sharks’ Offseason Moves: Game-Changing Deals or Risky Gambles for 2025-26?
If healthy, the 6-foot-2 right-hander should prove to be a bargain. In his prime, he was one of the top offensive defensemen in the NHL, and he looked spry during the Edmonton Oilers’ Stanley Cup Final run.
But he’s also played just 25 regular-season games over the last two years because of persistent hip troubles.
The Sharks also don’t have a secure safety net to quarterback the top power-play unit after Klingberg. So he better stay healthy.
It’s high-risk, high-reward move, even on a one-year pact. But it also could have the greatest pay-off of any of Grier’s moves this summer.
