Andrew Brunnette, $2.0m (2012-2013)

Sharks veteran Brunette has agreed to accept a reduction in pay to remain with San Jose for another 2 years, likely his last FNHL contract.

Ranked 87th in 10-11 and 116th in 11-12.

Brunette receives a 2yrs extension for 0.9m (1.1m in cap savings)

This also allows us to to complete our pending trade with Buffalo. Thanks

Looks like the weekend vacationers are trading players and taking off. Sharks are trading our MLR goalie prospect Murphy who's tired of being behind Bishop and Lehner currently in Ottawa and has just moved to Europe for the upcoming season but he's only doing it to get good playing time I think in Sweden in addition to an inexpensive winger that bangs bodies in Kassian
Zack Kassian, $1.5m (2013-2014) RW
Mike Murphy, $0.2m (2012-2013) G

for

RW - Akim Aliu (2007: 2/56 - 2 Games)
Round 3 - 2012 (MIN)
Round 4 - 2012 (NYI)
I want the picks to add prospects to my MiLR which is somewhat emptier than I like. I'm also clearing a couple of roster spots to make room for free agency.

Thanks for the quick back and forth snugerud! 
Islanders to confirm.

Have a great weekend everyone. I'm out! 

Here are our last extensions if our trade with DET gets approved.
#143 2011 Jakub Kindl, $1.5m instead of 1.3 (2014-2015)

#78 2011 Raffi Torres, $1.2m (2013-2014)
If there are any problems I will handle when I get back after my weekend camping trip. Thanks guys!

Detroit and my Sharks made this trade as they were going to release their players outright. They were looking to clear cap space to rebuild via free agency. So we gave up a depth player on Defense in Butler and a gritty Winger with a tiny cap hit in Colton and to make the trade happen we sadly had to deal away stud prospect Rundblad who should be very good and some say as good if not better than Erik Karlsson and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. We'll see but that is the reason I traded for him middle of last season.
