I don't think any Sharks fan could get mad at Oiler fans not wanting to trade for a 36 year old defenseman who is signed until he is 40. There are very legitimate concerns about his play dropping off, injuries and a desire to actually play out the contract. His cap hit is a very significant $8 Million a year. Why would you expect Edmonton to go after him? The team has a glut of young defensemen coming up and they are not sure what to do with them. Odds are the Oilers are losing an NHL ready d-man in the expansion draft. This trade does not seem to take in the Oilers needs and only focuses on what Sharks fans would want.
