Sharks open to trading star defenseman Erik Karlsson this offseason
- San Jose Sharks and Erik Karlsson's representatives agree that a trade is possible.
- Karlsson wants to win and may not want to stay with the Sharks during their rebuilding.
- Any trade of Karlsson would be complex due to his high salary and no-movement clause.
- Karlsson's trade value may never be higher after a successful season.
- Sharks GM Mike Grier wants a good return for Karlsson and won't trade him just for cap space.
