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.
