Filed under: Sharks, Western, Trade Deadline
Over the past several years, Doug Wilson has engineered some of the league's biggest trades, including those that brought Joe Thornton, Dan Boyle and Dany Heatley to San Jose.None was a trade-deadline deal, though Thornton was acquired during the season. Still, Wilson has a reputation for wheeling and dealing boldly when required, even if he downplayed the possibilities of anything major when he spoke to FanHouse this month.
"You never say never, but a lot of it is based on supply and demand," Wilson told FanHouse. "Last year, the market in defensemen and centermen was sparse - if you have one, you're keeping them. But you never know. If there's anything out there that makes sense, our history speaks for itself."
Wilson already has done some tinkering with the deadline approach, acquiring Ben Eager and Kyle Wellwood in January and Ian White this month, and considering that the team is on an upswing, there's a sense in San Jose that the Sharks might not do much more.
Wilson told FanHouse that all along, the best possible answer would be for the Sharks to hit their stride - that would do more than most trades, anyway.
