It was not an easy deal to make. Kinda made me feel a little sick to do it knowing how this trade triangle worked out in fact, but in the end I think it's worth it. The Sharks moved future superstar, Steve Stamkos, for current top line young forward Alexander Frolov. After all was said and done the Sharks kinda came out at the bottom of the barrel on this one as it all started like this:

To Ana:
Henrik Sedin, 27y 80ov
11th overall pick

To SJ:
1st overall pick (Stamkos)
2nd round pick

Then the Ducks traded Sedin to LA

To Ana:
Alex Frolov, 25y 79ov
4th round pick

To LA:
Henrik Sedin, 27y 80ov
3rd round pick

Then the Sharks went and handed Stamkos back to the Ducks

To Ana:
Steve Stamkos

To SJ:
Alex Frolov, 25y 79ov
3rd round pick

So in the end of that mess, the Sharks basically traded Sedin and the 11th overall pick for Frolov, a 2nd and a 3rd. Not very good asset management but looking at my team now, I needed another scoring winger and wanted someone young and talented. Frolov fits that bill perfectly.

Moving forward, the Sharks now have a full roster and are deep in talent at every position. Still nobody that is a game breaker, but as a group I think we have what it takes to win a lot of games this season.

Cheechoo 78ov - Bergeron 78ov - Frolov 79ov
Kozlov 76ov - Forsberg 79ov - Maxim 76ov
Yashin 75ov - Koivu 76ov - Murray 75ov
Barnes 73ov - McAmmond 73ov - Perron 71ov

Klesla 78ov - Burns 77ov
Wideman 77ov - Mitchell 77ov
Allen 77ov - Havelid 76ov

Osgood 79ov
Lalime 75ov

Also of note, the Sharks defense's worst DF rating is Wideman at 70DF. Besides that Mitchell tops the chart at 78DF, Allen has 76DF, Havelid 74DF, Klesla and Burns both bring in a 73DF, so I believe my defense will be very tough to get by and even if you do, Osgreat will be there to shut the door!

Thanks to Ravi for the interesting talks, as always!

Can't wait to get this season under way!
