As the 2026 NHL trade deadline approaches, teams are scrambling to bolster their rosters and make a push for the playoffs. The San Jose Sharks, currently sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference standings, are likely to be sellers rather than buyers. One name that has emerged as a potential trade target for the Sharks is Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo, a 27-year-old blue-liner with a strong defensive reputation and a contract that expires after the 2026-27 season. With the Bruins struggling to find consistency in their back end, a trade of Carlo could be a savvy move for both parties, but would the Sharks be willing to part with a valuable asset in exchange for a potential short-term boost?
