With the 2025-26 cap at $95.5 million, Vancouver might be building towards a bigger trade, perhaps after the likes of Marco Rossi or Mario Ferraro.

Mario Ferraro is an established San Jose Sharks blue-liner and is in the final year of a four-year, $13 million contract.

Never once did he ask for a trade, but supposedly, he would be okay with being dealt.

The Sharks have signed defenseman John Klingberg, Nick Leddy, and Dmitry Orlov, and Ferraro's roster spot can potentially be removed.

And now is as good a time as any to trade the 25-year-old to a contender where he would be able to fill in as a No.

The Contract Standoff Between the Wild and Marco Rossi Continues Meanwhile, the contract standoff between Marco Rossi and the Minnesota Wild remains unsolved.

The talks have supposedly been stagnant for weeks.

NHL insider Frank Seravalli is skeptical that an offer sheet on Rossi is forthcoming at all, but isn't closing the door on a trade.
