Mike Grier, as usual, was pretty open about his plans for the San Jose Sharks.
He spoke with local media this morning for his exit interview, and spoke on a wide range of off-season topics.
Trade Erik Karlsson? It’s still possible, but it’ll depend on the offer.
Would winning the No. 1 pick and drafting Connor Bedard change his off-season free agency and trade plan? Nope.
The first-year GM spoke on Karlsson, Bedard, Hasso Plattner’s opinion of his performance, the adjustments that Tomas Hertl has to make to his game, the Sharks goaltending and probably not bringing back UFA James Reimer, if there are any buyout plans this summer, how he wants to improve the Sharks, and a whole lot more.
