You know he's in Dallas now, right?
Yes. That's kinda why I mentioned him.

Well, as long as you're not asking me to be realistic, here are some players I have hoped for at some point over the past several years:
Martin St. Louis
Tobias Enstrom
The Other Michalek
Francois Beauchemin
Ryan Kesler (I know, I know, so sue me)
Chris Higgins
Ryan Miller
Matt Moulson
Andy McDonald
Please note that most of these are for stupid reasons, and I'm not claiming any of them would be (or would have been) best for the team.
Also, I pretty much uniformly long for the return of most ex-Sharks who are still playing. It's a sentimentality thing. Hence my continued freakout over Hannan and Stuart being back.

Shea Weber but if he played for the Sharks this season there'd be even more people injured
An upgrade on Irwin in terms of bringing a quality PMD on the left side could really improve their chances down the road.
Been a while since I really watched him, but how about Meszaros? UFA after this season and Philly might sell at the deadline. Plus he's Czech so he could communicate with Hertl.
They can use a 4th liner that can kill penalties and likely an upgrade on Irwin but those are items that aren't required for them to win right now. An upgrade on Irwin in terms of bringing a quality PMD on the left side could really improve their chances down the road.
I've always liked Mark Giordano and would like to get him as an upgrade over Irwin. Probably give up Irwin, 2nd, pick/prospect

You wouldn't get close to Giordano for that. He's been phenomenal this season.
I'd be willing to give up more like a 1st. But he would be a player I'd want.
We already have Vlasic and Braun doing what Giordano would be doing. We need more of an offensive guy. I'd love to get Christian Ehrhoff back.
Not with that contract.
I do agree - a PMD on the left side would be nice.
A defenseman like Sekera, Michalek or Hejda.
A solid, skilled 2nd pairing defenseman is what stands between this team and the cup imo.
However good the Sharks are performing now, to take that next step in the playoffs the team needs to add a quality defenseman to go the distance. Not many teams are one player away from the cup. Do it!
