Report: Sharks ask Ward for 6-team no-trade list

Veteran forward Joel Ward is reportedly available ahead of the trade deadline.

The San Jose Sharks have asked Ward to submit his six-team no-trade list to management within 24 hours, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Ward, 37, is in the final season of his contract, earning $3.275 million. He has five goals and six assists in 46 games, averaging just shy of 12 minutes of ice time per game.

There could be a market for the winger, who's been productive in the playoffs in his career, with 22 goals and 52 points in 83 games.
