Sharks Acquire C Depth
The Sharks currently sit 13th in the West and have no right trying to make a push for the playoffs, but sitting only 7 points out of 8th and 30 games left, we still have a chance!
On Tuesday, the Sharks made a deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets who are obviously not happy where they sit in the standings (8th place) and have started selling off the farm.
To San Jose:
Frans Nielsen
$3mill
To Columbus:
2018 3rd(min)
Nielsen is a pending UFA but should help the Sharks down the stretch. After winning 2 in a row, all we need to do is string together a small win streak to be right back in the mix and with a team like Columbus calling it quits, that only helps.
We'll find out in about 24 hours if Fisher will also be joining our team but if not, the addition of Nielsen should help.
Thanks to inufie for the deal.
