Yes, what we've all been waiting for.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Uh ok

But why?

 

[norrisnick]

Making room?

 

[glasgow26]

But…why?

 

[Unspecified]

He had a cup of coffee with Dallas and was meh...really meh.

 

[Alex Jones]

Are the Lightning paying for this to happen? Can't imagine the Sharks want him

 

[Leonardo87]

He had a cup of coffee with Dallas and was meh...really meh.

Same with the Rangers, meh. Although was more of a breakfast and lunch, lol.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I hate this team.

 

[Babyshark]

??
What are we doing?

 

[Alex Jones]

He had a cup of coffee with Dallas and was meh...really meh.

I don't think he's particularly good, idk why the Lightning like him so much

 

[Point21]

JBB about to pull off a heist

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Sharks have like no nhl forwards left so I get it, especially since it will likely be cheap to get him.

Also Sharks need to add some Russian buddies for Barabanov…

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Maybe with a pick to dump cap?

 

[Mafoofoo]

Wtf is this Grier

 

[BKarchitect]

Lol…this guy in his later years is like the definition of a forgettably average NHL player. Definitely not outwardly bad. But certainly not good. More than a fringe scrub. But never anything to remember when he’s gone.

 

[Sota Popinski]

I smell future considerations

Plot twist: barbanov is coming back the other way

 

[Kevin Musto]

Have to make room so Tampa can re-aquire Tyler Johnson

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Feels like Tampa clearing some cap room to get a d-man to me.

 

[Vitto79]

Probably with a pick for Bonino

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Uh ok

But why?

I'm guessing to move someone that wants out. I wouldn't be surprised if Gregor or Bonino are part of this.

 

[Harbessix]

Maybe with a pick to dump cap?

I would assume the sharks will get a pick with Namestnikov to help Tampa make room for something else. If so great move by Grier. Namestnikov is a pending UFA so we get a pick to ice a guy for 20 games then let him walk.

 

[themelkman]

Get a pick back for him, or part of a bigger deal

 

[Vukotal Recall]

If -- IF-- this has anything to do with Karlsson to Tampa, as insane as that sounds, just give Tampa the Cup.
