The San Jose Sharks joined the NHL ahead of the 1991-92 season when the Gund brothers, minority owners of the Minnesota North Stars, wanted to relocate the North Stars to the Bay Area.

What followed, though, was a period of consistent success that included 13 postseason appearances in 14 years and three trips to the Western Conference Final. While they have yet to win a Stanley Cup, they did reach the 2016 Stanley Cup Final, which they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

3 Western Conference Centre Trade Targets for the Maple Leafs
|

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a crunch at centre this season. Franchise superstar and captain Auston Matthews has been shelved for much of the 2024-25 season with an injury that he admitted might not fully heal (from “Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews unsure if he’ll fully get past injury this season: ‘I hope so,”’ The Athletic, Jan. 1, 2025), and as a result, utility centreman David Kampf is playing well above his weight class on the second line.
