BREAKING: San Jose SWOOPS In to Claim Carey Price Contract | What's Next?

The San Jose Sharks make a bold move, acquiring Carey Price's contract from the Montreal Canadiens. This strategic trade adds $10.5 million to the Sharks' salary cap while costing only $2 million in actual cash. JD Young breaks down the intricacies of this deal, explaining how it benefits both teams. The Sharks gain significant cap flexibility, allowing them to stay comfortably above the salary floor even if they make additional trades. For the Canadiens, it's an opportunity to escape the LTIR situation, which has become less advantageous under new rules. The host dives into the Sharks' current cap situation, now at $86,259,168 - about $18 million over the cap floor. This newfound flexibility opens doors for potential trades involving players like Alex Weinberg, John Klingberg, and Jeff Skinner. Young also explores the likelihood of signing prospect Michael Misa and how it might impact the team's roster. Tune in to understand how this savvy move by GM Mike Greer could shape the Sharks' future and what it means for the team's rebuilding strategy.
