Will the San Jose Sharks sign a cheap 7th defenseman for injury insurance near league minimum.

Maybe a trade with their California neighbour? Anaheim has too many depth D and may be forced to try and pass a couple through waivers. Perhaps someone like Brendan Guhle (2 years at 800k) would be a good trade target for a team needing to add a blueliner.

Ducks would still have Lindholm, Fowler, Manson, Shattenkirk, Larsson, Djoos, Curran, Hakanpaa, Mahura and Benoit.

Trade, sign or wait for a depth option on waivers

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hawks can give you nick Seeler and Anton lindholm for literally nothing

 

[Djp]

Waiver claims

Teams sign a fee vets st league min salary or 2 way contracts that get sent through waivers that San Jose can claim one.


There is also a level of uncertainty with CHL hockey so teams who might have sent back a Dman might opt to keep him which makes some low vets available.

 

[57special]

Seeler would be a decent option.

 

[Jacob]

There will probably be a bunch on waivers. Penguins have 8 on their roster, Stars have 9.

 

[seroes]

Sharks shouldn't give up anything for a 7th d. Way too many options available.

Doug Wilson indicated they're interested in adding one so most likely they will have some interest at some point but I suspect they try to add one through UFA. I'd be more than happy with Slater Koekkoek or Jan Rutta in that role.

I agree San Jose doesn’t need to trade for a 7th defenseman when they have so many options available in free agency or through waivers before the season begins.

The Sharks have a little over 2.3 in cap to make a minor move.

Defensemen on the FA market that should be under 1mil that might interest San Jose.
LD Koekkoek, RD Rutta, LD Del Zotto, LD Mueller, RD Bowey, RD Stone, LD Hutton, RD Y. Weber, RD Folin, LD Gilmour

Slater Koekkoek would be a good option
Like Rutta also

 

[themelkman]

Rutta is my favorite option. Do not pay even a seventh for one though because waivers and FA will have tons

Thay asked for a 7th D-man. Not a 9th.

 

[rubikscube]

sbisa sounds like the man for the job

 

[M2Beezy]

Jordie Benn for a 4th round pick would get it done

 

[logik47]

Robert Bortuzzo?

 

[Sparksrus3]

Thomas Hickey for future considerations or a 7th . He is not a bad player . Just need the cap space .

 

[mrinsane]

Kulak maybe

 

[Gecklund]

They don’t need a 7D. They have Middleton for that. They need a 6RD.

You might be hard pressed to get future considerations or a 7th for Thomas Hickey in this environment, I’ve been told that Alex Killorn is only worth a conditional 7th which had me cracking up.

So Hickey might only be worth some old hot dog chunks and maybe some dirty dish water which is somewhere between a 7th and no consideration whatsoever.

Canucks offer Loui Eriksson

 

[SoupNazi]

Wait for someone on waivers.

Dont think you guys are done with him yet

 

[themelkman]

Canucks offer Loui Eriksson

Okay if you take Martin Jones back youve got a deal
