Confirmed with Link: [SJ/NSH] Sharks trade G Troy Grosenick, F Brandon Bollig to Predators for 2018 6th Rd Pick

[Lebanezer]

Gambrell is all but assured a contract.

Right, the contract is just waiting for him to sign it.

*contract rescinded*

Assuming Gambrell wants to sign a pro contract with the Sharks that is.

That is.

Best reason I've heard. Clears out a couple of contract spots. Nash didn't do too bad with last goalie they got from SJ (Hutton).

I am not a big fan of how teams drafting college students are punished with these contracts.

So, this is why HF wasn't working this morning.

I don't get why Nashville would want to do this.

That's kind of an odd rationale, specifically regarding Nashville. Rinne & Saros are pretty set with the Preds and in the AHL Grosenick goes from fighting with AHL all-star Bibeau for time to fighting with AHL all-star Anders Lindback for starts.

Yeah. And like I've mentioned Milwaukee needs defenders...and they need them badly. They don't need forwards. So from a Nashville point of view this is really curious.

 

[DeadGhost]

TG is from Milwaukee. Maybe just giving him an opportunity to play at home.

Don't question it. Take the 6th and run lol

Sniff.

Huh, I didn’t know that. Makes more sense.

Le sigh

Bollig was fun to watch with the Cuda, but want playing as aggressively or pest-y as he did with Stockton (which was kinda a let down) I'm kinda sad to see Grosenick go, but he's definitely been outplayed by Bibeau. I am confused though since I really don't think he has a better chance of playing with Nashville/Milwuakee.

Some of you guys must be jesting about clearing contract space. These two are about an inch up from the league minimum.

A sixth round pick is about two inches up from a bag of pucks (meaning considerations later, with a 7th round pick in-between).

Came across this one the other day about the awful Polak-Spaling for Raffi and 2 2nds trade. But remember, he's not a yes man for the org

I don't think Polak can play much anymore, but that trade helped the Sharks at the time. Polak was a solid guy to have against heavier teams like the Kings and Blues - and since you're being critical of me being a supposed "yes man" for DeBoer and the org., I was pretty critical of him not reducing Polak-Dillon minutes in the Stanley Cup Final. In fact, the very first question I asked him before Game 1 of the Final is if he had plans to do that, because I thought it was so obvious.

Contract slots, not dollars.

Not salary. # of active contracts under the limit of 50.

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

Both had little to no future in the NHL, glad to see we got something for them and that DW
did TG a solid giving him a change to play more. I will always remember TGs first NHL
start and SO!

 

[Bleedred]

Terrible trade!

We got no goons, we got no backup goalie for next year, OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!
