Dude, getting this little for ridding EK65's contract doesn't make sense for the Sharks. He is a financial albatross and one that is absolutely a bad contract, but I'd expect the Sharks would have to give up more assets than it's worth if they're trading to a cap-conservative team like Seattle. We're much better off riding his contract for at least another season or two until A. he gets sick of San Jose and waives his NMC to go elsewhere or B. he gets injured again and we can banish him to Robidas Island.
Also, I got love for Couture but I don't see the Avs willing to give up that much to get him. There's no way they'll look to part with Kadri or Byram right now, and getting a similar haul will require Couture to have a rebound season which may not be in the cards given his age.
