“I had some people tell me about San Jose. So they just let (Philipp) Kurashev come back. (Kiefer) Sherwood could come back any time, I guess.

San Jose also has 49 contracts out of 50. I think they would like to move some things around and see what they can add. For example, Grier has been nice, he has been with the (Artemi) Panarin, but he has also been quite sharp about this kind of thing. As if he is trying to reward his players. (Laurent) Brossoit for depth in goal.

Sherwood of course, even if he hasn’t played yet. You know, I think it was a challenge to get an extension here, but with Sherwood, but I do think the Sharks knew what the number was that Sherwood was asking for. So you know, we’ll see where that goes.

But of course I also heard that the Sharks don’t have any defenseman other than (Sam) Dickinson signed for next year. So I hear they are out there and want to add something.”

I think he feels his players the way they have played, and right now they are second in the Atlantic. They are (6) points behind Tampa and Carolina for first place in the Eastern Conference. And I really believe Yzerman has said these players deserve help, and he’s trying to get them help. So we’ll keep an eye on them.
