When I read that transcript and listen to the players interviews I get increasingly nervous that DW will move Wiesblatt or Bordeleau this summer to get better. The whole “to make trades you need young players and cap space” thing is worrisome.
Maybe that's also hinting at trading a larger contract and retaining salary. That would (still) tie up cap space and require a young player to step up.
I think they keep Wiesblatt because of the DWjr signing gesture. When the Sharks like players, they can't let go . . .
Though, it wouldn't be surprising if he did trade off prospects. Seems like Wilson's signalling that he's willing to roll with a young defense next season. And there are enough bottom six bodies available. So, he'd need to get a G and 3C (or quality pieces to build 3 decent lines). And his ammo would probably have to be contracts + % retained, draft picks, and prospects.
