Conditional 6th round pick also sent to San Jose for Carl Grundstrom (F) and Artem Guryev (D).

I’m shocked that they were actually able to trade him. I thought the Flyers would have to sit on that contract one more year because it isn’t front loaded and the acquiring team has to pay his full salary.
On that note Grundstrom and his 1.8mill contract was immediately put on waivers and Guryev is not predicted to ever play in the NHL and is currently playing in the ECHL.
I’m not sure what the Sharks got out of this other than freeing up a contract slot and a 6th for taking on an additional 8 mill salary? They were already above the cap floor and they could’ve just waived Grundstrom themselves.
Guryev and Grundstrom are off the books after this year and make half of Ellis. The sharks will be paying Ellis salary for 2 years for some reason (10 mill) and have less salary cap space than the Flyers now. Make this make sense from the Sharks side?
Barring any new information coming out, this does look like a steal for DB. Congrats.

Somewhat shocked myself as I really didn’t see any sort of value for another team to take on the Ellis contract. Also, I figured the Sharks were pretty much set with the Price contract, so in that regard, it seems to make even less sense for them. But hey, take the win no matter how it was earned!
