Pricey but a nice player.

Sharks should accept that. They need more offense from their defensemen outside of Karlsson. Might as well continue the trend of acquiring only LHD prospects.

Yeah because 7 NHL level LHD isn't enough. Easy decline. Fill one hole, create another with this move. Nah.

The 2nd is the major part of the return. I am sure there is another piece similar in value to Jones that could be substituted.

It's just bad asset management.

If jones was a right shot sure…sharks already have a boat load of left defenseman though

And only 1-2 project to be on the team after 3 years.

IMO It would be smart to move on from Ferraro after his -30 5v5 goal differential while teams still think he has value.

Simek and MacDonald have no future with the Sharks. Knyzhov showed major regression after his injuries and can be buried if need be.

Thrun and Mukhamadulin only ones with any potential and neither are a sure thing.

Also, almost certain that Barabanov will not be on the team once we are good again. Dunno why you are worried about his absence creating a hole. We are rebuilding.

You're right we do need RHD prospects, but not because our LHD pipeline is overwhelmingly strong.
