Logan Couture's days with the San Jose Sharks are seemingly numbered.
Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff reported Tuesday that he believes Couture "is a prime trade candidate" this season after the Sharks moved star defenseman Erik Karlsson to the Pittsburgh Penguins over the summer.
With the Sharks seemingly far from contending for a Stanley Cup, the franchise could try to part ways with Couture for future assets that will accelerate a rebuild.
Couture remains one of the top centers in the NHL heading into his 15th season. He's coming off a 2022-23 campaign in which he notched 27 goals and 40 assists for 67 points in 82 games on a San Jose team that struggled to a 22-44-16 finish.
