<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>matthias893</b></div><div>I'm not so sure the Sharks hang up on the call. Liljegren and Timmins both fit an organizational need. Timmins has a recent injury history, but Liljegren is promising and could excel with more playing time.

We also trade Karlsson without retaining. If Murray can return to some kind of form he'll be excellent trade bait with half salary retained next year. Lots of players have an uptick in contract years. Either way the Murray and Brodie contracts are gone after one season. Major cap headache gone.

Not saying its perfect, but if someone were to want EK65 without retention and two promising young RD prospects are part of the trade then I think that's pretty interesting.</div></div>

Ok these are fair points. Liljegren is certainly the most interesting piece here and he does fit a need. Timmins could be moved or just dumped to the Cuda. I won’t lie that Murray is indeed intriguing but his injury history is dubious at best, regardless, Murray, Brodie and Timmons have only one year so the risk is light. Might be that Grier wants a prospect or pick thrown in considering the monster year that Karlsson just put together but your points are valid.
