I think the Sharks will want a young NHL player in the deal like Killorn. They also want to get younger in the goal and I think Gudlevskis would be they guy who they want. Witkowski will provide a toughness they lack especially on the blueline.
We get a soon to be 35 year old who is still good for 30 + goals and 70 points. I do think despite our strength of offense, I still think we need a boost up front, Marleau will offer more offensively than Callahan.
Watson is a 20 year old who was a 6th round pick back in 2012. Plays his hockey at Sioux Cityin the USHL. A big D man that plays a psychical game and outside of Koekkoek, the bolts lack a lefty shot dman coming through the system and Watson will help to add that depth we need.
Crane, a big enforcer who doesn't have the greatest upside but may make the NHL due to his toughness and gritty style. Crane played under Cooper for the Green Bay Gamblers when Cooper led them to the Clark Cup so Cooper knows what he'll bring and we all know Cooper likes his toughness.

Anton Stralman - 4 Years $18 Mill
Tanner Glass - 2 Years $ 2.2 Mill
Justin Peters - 2 Years $ 2.5 Mill
I really like the way Stralman has played when I've watched him which has been mostly been this postseason but the word out there he's been a consistent performer all year. I like his game, moves the puck, plays a reliable stay-at-home game and plays with a physical edge, he likes to play the body. He's only 27 and just entering his prime I think he and Hedman's game hand in hand.
Glass, we need a bit more toughness and grit and Glass will provide that. He's a good role player, as I said play's with a gritty style, like to get in on the fore-check and hit and tough when it comes to dropping the gloves.
Peters, bolts get a more vet and accomplished backup than Lindback and for less $$$$, Peters would be a good signing, either him, Al Montoya or Chad Johnson but I like Peters, always impresses me when we play them with hi in goal.

I have Connolly in there over Kucherov. I really think this is the year for Brett Connolly, he had a good camp last year and I think he'll make the team out of camp this year plus giving Kucherov some more seasoning would hurt plus if we have an injury he wouldn't be a bad guy to call up.
- Ryan Callahan traded to the Sabers for a 2015 4th round pick
- Anders Lindback traded to the Flames for John Ramage and a 2014 5th round pick
- Alex Killorn, Kristers Gudlevskis, Luke Witkowski and a 2014 1st round pick traded to San Jose for Patrick Marleau, Clifford Watson, Christopher Crane and a 2014 3rd round pick
