The San Jose Sharks will hold forward Luke Kunin out of the lineup against the Colorado Avalanche for trade-related reasons.

Kunin’s name has been mentioned in trade rumors almost all season. The Sharks alternate captain is a pending unrestricted free agent with a cap hit of $2.75 million. His AAV is reasonable and not challenging for playoff teams up against the cap to fit in.

The 27-year-old is an effective bottom-six forward and can play all forward positions. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been in and around the forward as a team of interest.
