It depends on whether they still want to see Hertl as a center. Tierney could be available if it nets them another winger that they can then justify moving Hertl back to center.

They'd probably have to retain half of Boedker's salary for almost three seasons. Granted, I don't think the Sharks will be a cap team in the near future, but that still stings.
If they have to retain half his salary, they're better off riding him out through the season and buying him out in the off-season. They either need to move him with someone valuable and/or retain at most 1 mil in a trade. Otherwise it's just not worth it. I'm thinking Boedker gets dealt with someone else like a Braun or Pavelski or Couture or something like that to get him out if he doesn't at least keep up his current pace this season.
Pretty much, he just claims to have "sources" like Eklund does. It's all for site traffic.

No shit they're available. The real question is does anyone want them.
Actually, I’ve been satisfied with Tierney this season, and having him let’s the excellent Hertl-Couture combo exist. I’d keep him unless it was a real hockey trade.

I don't believe Martin is available as some folks think he is. One of Heed and Ryan will probably have a rookie slump and we will want someone not named Demelo available to fill in.

Yeah, I really don't mind Tierney being on the roster at all. I know he's like the forum scapegoat and all and he hasn't shown the scoring prowess we expected from him in 14-15 but he's a solid 4th liner.
Yes, no brainer to add Ward, Martin, and Hansen to that list. For the right price, DW will trade anyone. Even his own mother.
Problem is that those prices will not come along in this market.
It appears that rebuilding in the best possible fashion is to pay the league $500m.

I'm sure other teams are absolutely salivating at the prospect of acquiring talents like Chris Tierney and Mikkel Boedker
It depends on Wilson's expectations. He already intimated he may make moves if the youth don't earn roster spots.
I'm sure Wilson's expectations were to be a playoff competitive team but he failed the organization in that regard with the off-season he had. It was his choice to give those young players roster spots that they apparently didn't earn. He should get the boot before any of the young players do.
He deserves cynicism because he let the wrong players go to open those spots up. And instead of moving the guys that are still here that should've been moved to open those spots up, he lets quality players go and doesn't replace them with a similar caliber player. Other than Thornton, DW's biggest moves to improve the team comes in the off-season. He failed.

Depending on how much he's produced by December or so, I'm sure they'd love to be rid of Boedker for nothing. Nobody would want him, without his salary being significantly retained.
I'm not sure I buy Tierney. The organization looks to be higher on Tierney than they really probably should be.

If Boedker is at around half a point per game when the trading picks up, I'm sure they can find a taker. Either it's for a pick or a similarly valued contract.
