NASHVILLE – Now that the All-Star Game has come and gone, the next big event on the NHL’s yearly calendar is just ahead on the horizon.

The 2015-16 trade deadline is on leap day, Feb. 29, just three weeks and three days from Friday.

Will the Sharks’ roster look any different by the time the calendar flips to March? There’s always that possibility.

A case can be made that the Sharks – as well as they’ve been playing for the past month – are thin at left wing, defense and backup goaltender. Part of the reason they’re on an impressive 9-1-2 run in their last 12 games is that they are remarkably healthy for this time of year, with not a single name on the injury report.
