The San Jose Sharks are trying to accommodate a trade request by 2018 first-round pick Ryan Merkley, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
The 22-year-old defenseman made his NHL debut last season and collected one goal and five assists in 39 games.
Merkley has spent the entire 2022-23 season with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda, tallying 14 assists in 30 games.
The Sharks selected the Ontario native with the 21st overall pick in the 2018 draft.
