Head to Fear the Fin to get some gut trade reaction.

Basically, Ehrhoff and Lukowich are off to Vancouver for spare parts. The trade may get the Sharks cap-compliant, but I'm not doing cap-ceiling math any more.

Who would entertain you this season if the Sharks didn’t have cap issues, Sleek!

Just so long as they keep me laughing in the springtime, I guess I could handle some lean months.

Heh, well according to CapGeek, the Canucks are $1 Million over.

I know that’s not really going to be a problem, but just found it ironic.

Nice title Sleek

This one is a wash for me. We dropped about 4.5 mil, (4.665) and got back scrubs who were the 16th and 17th VAN prospects. I hope this is a precursor to more moves, (Pyatt or/and Kessel please) but regardless we did what we had to do to become cap compliant.

And if you believe what they’re saying on Twitter tonight, some of that money gets spent on Torrey Mitchell’s new 3-year extension.

Per the tweet, 3 years, $4.1 million. A cap hit of ~$1.37 million per year.

I’m fine with resigning Mitchell. Someone else is on the move, and its looking more and more like it’s going to be Cheechoo. I wouldn’t be too shocked if we found the Sharks with more cap space before summer’s end.

Seriously, cap-ceiling spending is so last year.

For the Ducks, anyways. Come join us.

I somehow have this feeling DW isn’t going to do as you suggest…

As you all know The Ducks blue line is suffering pretty badly.  Wiz being banished to the Islanders really doesn't help much.  What I'm about to suggest is crazy, probably not legal, and absolutely absurd.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.   

That is a picture of my girlfriend's dog, Mia.  And the holder of that hockey stick is me.  Every once in awhile I'll practice stick handling in my kitchen with a small tennis ball.  The other day, this interested Mia and she sort of made a game out of it.  I try to stick handle around her and she trys to get the ball.  At first this was no challenge to me, but then the little bastard started getting really good.  So, here's my solution:  

The Ducks sign Mia to a 3 year entry level contract.  She can't stick handle, check, pass, shoot, has no concept of what team she's on, and has pretty shitty cardio.  But from a team that once employed the likes of Ryan Whitney and Steve Eminger, this is all easily forgivable.  On the up side, she'll never take a penalty....  Unless they add biting or pissing on the ice to the NHL rule book.  She's relentless....  Unless the opponents all bring bacon which they use as a distraction.
