2025 Fantasy Outlook
Getting fully healthy this offseason after suffering a broken ankle in April will be the first priority for Ferraro, but he’s projected to be ready for training camp. He’s coming off a solid season in which he recorded five goals and 12 assists in 78 games while averaging 21:24 of ice time. The 26-year-old (27 on Sept. 17) also recorded 150 hits and 125 blocked shots last year. He drew a lot of tough assignments as the top defenseman on the rebuilding Sharks, which led to an ugly minus-25 rating. Regardless, the six-year veteran could be a sneaky good sleeper option as the quality of the team improves around him, which could unlock some more offense along with his strong hit and shot blocking numbers.

Signed a four-year, $13 million contract with the Sharks in August of 2022.
Won't need surgery on broken ankle
Ferraro's season-ending injury is a broken ankle that won't require surgery, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Ferraro was injured Wednesday versus the Wild. He had 17 points, 150 hits, 125 blocked shots, 53 PIM and a minus-25 rating as the Sharks' top shutdown defender this season. Avoiding surgery is a positive sign, and he is expected to have a fairly normal offseason after a 4-6 week recovery from the injury. He'll be entering a contract year in 2025-26, so he could end up being a top trade target in the likely event the Sharks are not in playoff contention.

While Ferraro was able to surpass the 20-point threshold for the first time in his five-year NHL career, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be banking heavily on his offensive upside. The 25-year-old blueliner doesn't have a role with the man advantage and didn't produce at a high level even in college or junior hockey. Still, in certain formats that utilize hits and blocked shots, the Toronto native might have some value considering he racked up 124 and 195, respectively, last season. Perhaps an improved squad around him can increase Ferraro's disastrous plus-minus rating (minus-38 last year) but otherwise, it won't have a significant impact on his 2024-25 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing trade interest
Ferraro could be moved by the Sharks ahead of Friday's trade deadline, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ferraro is relatively cost controlled with a $3.25 million AAV for one more season. He's not exactly an offensive powerhouse considering he's reached the 20-point threshold just once in his six-year NHL career, but he would be a solid shutdown defender that could be paired with a move offensively-minded defenseman. As such, it's not a surprise to see contending teams inquiring about his services.
