Couple of minor moves to fill 3C and backup holes

no, if he wasn't battling injuries i'd consider but no.

Why would we worry any less about Martin getting claimed off waivers than DeSmith? If anything I’d say it’s more likely Martin does get claimed than DeSmith just due to cap hits of the goalies.

I agree with you. When I posted I thought Martin was wavier exempt, however after double checking I was mistaken.

Sharks really like Sturm and Hoglander us undersized and doesn’t fit what Grier wants. Don’t see them retaining half a mil and locking up their likely last retention spot for 2 years. Just doesn’t make sense to do that with such little money

Out of curiosity, what is it Grier wants? Hoglander is only 22 and his career high in points is higher than Strums, and he achieved that is only 56 games. He may be a smaller player but he's a bit of a bulldog, plays hard and lays the odd big hit and is a well liked teammate.
