Ward (shoulder) is on the list of available players for Wednesday's expansion draft, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks were willing to gamble on Ward not being selected given his age and the fact that he has just one year remaining on his contract. Some of the other names available to the Golden Knights from San Jose are likely more attractive anyway, so it seems unlikely the 36-year-old winger will see his name as part of the expansion draft Wednesday evening.
