Is Boyle actually a shark, or is he a hockey player playing for a team named the Sharks?

Cuz usually a shark has a name like Jaws, or Cruncher, or Zeus.... right?

I suggest you list that next time you start a thread so we all know what you're talking about.

Not from San Jose, actually from Canada. But San jose is one of the many teams that I do follow. On the note of Marleau though his No trade just kicked in on July the 1st so I think they are planning on keeping him for at least this season as they would have likely traded him before July 1st. I think the coaching change has allowed Marleau one more season with the Sharks to see if they can get this team deep into the playoffs.

Indeed...
After all, you guys did trade Gorges and a 2nd rounder to acquire him. I wonder if they would've signed Blake knowing they would get Boyle though. Doesn't really matter right now, that's a pretty scary line-up.

Are from San Jose by the way ? If so, what's the current feeling about Marleau ? Still trade bait ?

Two second rounders is a solid return for him.

Boyle has really been injured. With the exception of last seasons freak accident he has not missed more than 5 or 6 games in a season.

As a sens fan I'm glad we didnt trade for him.He is overpaid much like Redden was and is often hurt.He earned 6.6 mil per year so I rather the sens give 3.5 mil to Meszaros and still have money to spend later.Vermette at 4 mil per year would be great and reasonable too.

And now Rivet to Buffalo for draft picks…

Sure Tampa gets a lot in return but what exactl are they thinking? Whats the point of going out and getting all those forwards if the big horse on your blueline isn't around to help protect those leads? Does anybody remember how bad the Lightning were when Boyle was injured last year? He is the most important player to the team not named Vinny Lecavalier.

On the flip side this is a great deal for San Jose and one has to think they are right behind the Wings as cup favourites now. Boyle has a solid all round game and will give them 25 minutes of experience a night. Sure the Sharks gave up a lot but they need to contend NOW. I really like this deal for the Sharks.

now the Sharks have 7 d-men capable of logging top minutes, with the addition of Blake and Boyle. add Rivet, Murray, Mclaren, Erhoff and Vlasic. This is too much.

Erhoff is still an RFA and he's looking for a big raise. I see him being traded in the next couple of days.

Christian Erhoff to New York Rangers
Petr Prucha + 3rd round pick to San Jose Sharks

or

Christian Erhoff to New York Islanders
Mike Comrie to San Jose Sharks

thoughts?

He hasn't been traded yet.
