Los Angeles management is pleased to announce we have come to an agreement with the San Jose Sharks on a trade.To San JoseJordan Eberle, $4.5m (2013-2016)Johan Franzen, $4.0m (2010-2018)Matt Irwin, $2.6m (2014-2017)Round 2 - 2015 Coming to Los AngelesAndrew Ladd, $7.0m (2011-2015)Maxim Lapierre, $1.6m (2013-2016)Marc Staal, $1.6m (2013-2016)This deal was originally tabled by San Jose back in December but we felt no need at the time to act on it. We did not want to trade Jordan Eberle given his youth and still untapped potential playing for a weak organization in Edmonton but felt it would help our franchise improve as a whole by acquiring Ladd on an expiring contract that gives us the option of resigning him or allowing him to test Free Agency this off season and using the $7.0 Million in cap space to resign our other pending Free Agents.All other elements in this trade were based on Eberle's value to the Sharks and his reasonable salary for one more season beyond 2015.San Jose to confirm. Thank you for your patience Burke.
