low-down: sharks wanted to move to salary, clear roster space and restock their farm with some NHL ready talent.

i wanted to add NHL vets for the post-season drive and had to give up Nino, Peter + David but i wasn't going to take on an extra 5.4m in salary (add net 3.1 this yr + another 2.2 net in 2012-13) without some compensation.

sharks to confirm! thanks for the smooth negotiations from start-to-finish, Burkes Boys,.

low-down: sens wanted to rebuild plus move some guys from the old regime and we felt they were worth the buyout hit to get bodies we wanted. we also wanted to move players left behind from the old re-building panthers' regime to take a shot at the post-season. tough parting with andy, cam, quinton but it'll be worth it if rundy pans out.

sens to confirm!
thanks dickiedunn.  good back-n-forth negotiation.
