Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 02:04:21 GMT

San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier was put in a tough spot, but he showed patience when it came to trading superstar defenseman Erik Karlsson.Karlsson, who wanted to play for a win-now team instead of the rebuilding Sharks, was shipped to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday in a multi-player, three-team trade that took months to complete.Coming back to the Sharks are forwards Mike Hoffman and Mikael Granlund and defenseman Jan Rutta, players who give the Sharks some added depth.
