Bieksa might not be as over the hill as he seemed in the playoffs. I think Sbisa is actually that bad that Bieksa lost any confidence in getting puck support from his partner. He should still be a solid #4 with a strong partner, like Oduya was for the hawks.
Of course, Sharks' blueline is pretty bad these days, so Bieksa's gonna be terrible for them, especially if he's paired with Burns who can't defend work anything. And if they extend him before trying him out, man that will be funny.
