1. A Rental Player, most likely from Winnipeg, Carolina, or New Jersey.
2. A Useless often Injured player, who has skill
3. Someone who is supposed to be good on the PK and at faceoffs.
4. Someone who is not physical and is a “nice guy” off the ice.

This Sharks team has a lot of needs, and really not much that is worth anything. Wilson who I consider a reactionary type of GM, made two of the worst trades ever this past summer. He vastly overpaid for Brent Burns when he had the exact same player three seasons ago whom he just gave away for nothing. Christian Erhroff is exactly the same player as Burns with the exception of Burns being larger and Erhroff actually being more physical. Wilson choose too keep a washed up Rob Blake and get rid of Erhroff. And this just shows how Wilson is reactionary. He never thinks about the future. Trading away draft choice after draft choice as led the team to have to play bums like Tammy Wingels, and John McCarthy both players who have no business being in the nhl.

Which brings me back to the article the only trade chips the Sharks have are Clowe, Murray, and Pavelski. Unfortunately nobody wants Havlat because he is always injured and Marleau and Thornton would never give up playing in the Sharks country club atmosphere.

Defensively Vlasic is the teams best defensive defense man, wow. And Boyle has a NTC as does Burns. Leaving only Murray, Demers and Braun as tradeable assets.

Nobody wants Torrey Mitchell, Michael Handzus or Antero Niittymaki or Tomas Griess. And since Wilson has already traded away our 1st round pick for this year and probably next year too, so there is nothing to trade. And even if there was Wilson would make another stupid rental player trade with Carolina or Winnipeg.
