We're going to b/o and release both of these players because they don't produce enough to retain their roster spots.
Joel Ward b/o and release $2.4m (2013-2014) costs 4.8m in 2011-12
Ty Wishart b/o and release $1.3m (2012-2013) costs 1.7m in 2011-12
Thanks

Not Property of San Jose Sharks and to be Removed:

b) Kostitsyn, Andrei LW,RW - NAS/MON
c) Fraser, Mark D - NJ
d) Samsonov, Sergei LW
e) Cheechoo, Jonathan RW
f) Raycroft, Andrew G - DAL

Thank you for making these updates to our play-off roster.

To Sharks
G - Peter Budaj, $1.9m (2013-2014)
D - David Schlemko, $0.5m (P-2012)
RW - Zack Kassian, $1.5m (2013-2014)

To Panthers
C - Mike Santorelli, $0.2m (2011-2012)
D - Roman Polak, $0.6m (2011-2012)
G - Thomas Greiss, N/C, (29 Games)

I feel Kassain was the key to this trade for my Sharks. He's going to be the whole package and just got called back up with Vanek going down. Schlemko is also going to rock very soon and has a high ceiling.

Exchanging back up goalies was no big deal either and I feel Budaj has a better chance of earning a starting job in the future more so than Greiss.

Finally I avoid paying Santorelli and Polak huge contract extension raises next season to the tune of 3.0m a piece so my Sharks are managing future cap space by making this deal.

Because Niclas is stuck in Nashville's AHL system and not going to help us must down the stretch we're going to buy him out as soon as the trade with Ottawa goes through.

Buy out terms: Niclas Bergfors at $1.6m (2012-2013)

Thanks

We would like to bring in more productive players and since we cannot send these reserve players down to the minors in this league we will buyout their contracts for values below over the remaining terms respectively.

Right Winger -0.2m from cap
Jonathan Cheechoo, $0.4m (2012-2013)

Defence -0.4m from cap
Derek Joslin, $0.3m (P-2012)
Mark Fraser, $0.4m (2012-2013)
