Sharks Gameday: Three Realistic Trade Proposals

Trade deadline! February 27th!
The Roomors are everywhere!
After spending hours researching all the most authoritative inside sources, I've put together three possible trades the Sharks might make before the deadline. I won't include any trades that are obviously bogus, so you can trust that I believe all of these are realistic possibilities that would benefit both teams.
#1
To Sharks: Jeff Carter
To Blue Jackets: Antero Niittymaki, third-round pick in 2013.
Why it works for the Blue Jackets: Once the team finally succeeds in killing Steve Mason, which is apparently what they are trying to do this year, they'll have another goalie they can start tormenting.
Why it works for the Sharks: The Sharks are searching for another top-six scorer, but this is a lean year in that regard so they'd be willing to settle for Carter. San Jose wouldn't really mind Carter's lengthy contract because after the 13-14 season the team will consist of only three guys. And, finally, sending Nitty to Columbus would be a nice reward for him after all his patience and good nature this season.
#2
To Sharks: Jason Blake
To Ducks: Tommy Wingels, Alex Stalock, third-round pick in 2013
Why it works for the Ducks: The Ducks get a new fan-favorite player that kind of sucks in Tommy Wingels and another goalie that may never fully recover from an injury. The Ducks like those kinds of guys.
Why it works for the Sharks: The Sharks would take away the Ducks' lucky charm, which would really piss off blogger Earl Sleek (I have it on good authority that the Sharks hate Earl).
#3
To Sharks: Travis Moen
To Canadiens: Third-round pick in 2013.
Why it works for the Canadiens: You can never have too many third-round draft picks!
Why it works for the Sharks: It doesn't. Travis Moen sucks.
Prediction: The Sharks trade a draft-pick for Jarome Iginla between the first and second periods, and win 5-2.
To clarify: The Room is not my 32nd-favorite movie. Not even ironically. It was just too hard to connect Children of Men to a post about trade rumors.

I liked Children of Men
and looking up the Room on Wikipedia, I particularly liked this description:
IFC.com described Wiseau’s speaking voice in the film as “Borat trying to do an impression of Christopher Walken playing a mental patient.”

You're tearing me apart, Lisa!
It’s not a good movie, but it’s totally worth it if you and your friends are bored, a bit cruel, and want to laugh. The green-screen San Francisco backdrops really capture the essence of the city (suck it, Fincher’s Zodiac!).

The fuck? Don’t you guys have your own AHL team or something?
Sharks loan Niittymaki to Syracuse
Why trade for him if you guys are just loaning him out anyways?

That’s why I’m including the third-round pick to sweeten the deal.

I enjoy how the current rumor is that the Sharks are the “frontrunners” for Travis Moen’s services. Travis Moen? THE Travis Moen? Oh, better up your offer, Sharks, before someone else gets him!
(As an aside, Travis Moen’s shooting percentage is .200 this season. His career average is .08. I’m sure that’ll hold up, though.)
Even with his abnormally high shooting percentage he only has one more point than Martin “26 games played” Havlat.
And one fewer point than Vlasic.
We don’t need Moen, is my point.

No you see, he won’t score like the rest of your bottom-six but he won’t score grittily.

Just so we are clear, are people now off the “Vancouver sucks cause their players dive” bandwagon and now on the “Tim Thomas sucks cause his opinions differs from mine” bandwagon?

Oh, come on.
I’m pissed off about the way this country has shredded our civil liberties for the last TEN YEARS.
I still wouldn’t politicize an apolitical team event. Even if I did, if others used their right of free speech just as I had and chose to criticize me, I wouldn’t pout on Facebook like a little bitch.

I don’t see an issue with Thomas not going to the White House. If that is how he chooses to make a statement, so be it. It doesn’t suck.
It seems his stand on abortion may differ than mine, but we are both entitled to our own opinions without me stooping down and calling him an idiot and saying his opinions suck.
And it’s actually more of a mob mentality than a bandwagon really. :)

“Why are people making a big deal out of this thing that I made a big deal out of?” —Tim Thomas
He had every right to refuse to go to the White House. But no one has viewed a championship team’s visit to the White House as an endorsement of the president himself before, so when you choose to withdraw from that celebration on political grounds, it is going to get you noticed. So far he has been criticized, but hasn’t experienced actual persecution.
How should we react to him instead? He made himself into a news story. People have every right to discuss, debate, and attack or support his stance. So they are.
Tim Thomas made it a public rather than private matter, and he is just going to have to deal with the consequences — like some people deciding he’s stupid. That doesn’t seem so hard. His Facebook retort is self-aggrandizing and silly.

Geology is awesome. My dad’s a geologist, and a bunch of my friends were earth science majors at Santa Cruz.
UCSC’s earth science summer field study near Mono Lake started off with the profs stopping off at Bev Mo to stock up on booze, and culminated in creating a 50 foot fireball by pouring water into a boiling tub of Crisco. It was way more fun than anything I did with the other philosophy majors.
