Description

After looking at the end results of this the 2nd and 3rd pair defense might be legendary in how awful they are.

Trades

VAN

Kane, Evander ($3,240,000 retained)
Vlasic, Marc-Édouard ($3,500,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Probably a bad move for the Sharks to tie up money like this in retained salary for this long but worth hearing opinions on this

SJS

Ekman-Larsson, Oliver

Additional Details:

Kane is a deplorable human being but he is a great hockey player. This trade is a last gasp by Benning to save his job.

Braden Holtby: $500,000

It might not be. My thinking is it rids Sharks of Vlasic and Kane. It does saddle them with OEL but he has been better this year and is far superior to Vlasic.

Getting rid of Kane doesn't matter if you aren't saving salary, and I'd easily rather have Vlasic over OEL.

Vlasic over OEL? But why? As far as Kanes salary, I haven't done the math, not sure I could, but I agree if it's cheaper just to cut him then so be it.

Ekman-Larsson has been pretty good for Vancouver this year imo. This trade brings in a malcontent and a near 40-year-old defender for a good piece of VAN team.

Benning should simply cap dump Myers and look at potential improvements down the road.
