They can get arguably a better player in Sharp for only 2 years and then see what happens. I think Sharp would help the younger guys out a lot too. Geez, anyone from the hawks would. I mean look at how Bolig stepped up in the playoffs for the Flames. If Sharp could not only bring that compete but teach the younger guys what takes and how to handle themselves, it would be beneficial.
But for these exact same reasons a playoff contender would want Sharp over Williams.

Lets also not forget Sharp has a limited NTC where he lists the 10 teams that he will accept a trade to 48 hours prior to a trade.
