On the Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa:
#1 Mary Lisa it’s really hard to believe that the San Jose Sharks would even consider moving either Tomas Hertl or Timo Meier, Hertl is looking for an extension and could be moved for assets. Meier could be considered for the rebuild or also moved for assets.
#2 Meier has $6 million cap hit to his $10 million dollars remaining on the last year of his contract. After the season he’s had it shouldn’t be a surprise if they sign him for another multiple year deal and it would be a shock if he is traded elsewhere?
#3 Hertl who is in the top six for centers in the NHL would be hard to replace and during the All Star break he was not thinking about his future with the Sharks after taking time off in Hawaii with his family.
#4 The Sharks will be coming off a three game losing streak when they return to SAP Center on Monday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Sharks head coach Bob Boughner certainly would like to get things turned around with that first win against the Oilers.
#5 Evander Kane returns to San Jose and will be playing his former teammates what kind of a reception do you see Kane getting and will it be a physical game or competitive game upon his return?
