Eklund: Sharks and Devils discussing Major Trade? Been looking into rumors today that the Sharks and Devils have had preliminary discussions regarding sending a "major veteran asset" to NJ for defenseman Adam Larsson and possibly a pick. Hearing that despite the Sharks start they are heavily pursuing a Dman and would like to move Burns back to forward.

Stay tuned...

He and Jumbo Joe wouldn't waive all summer and now he's willing to go to North Jersey? Sorry, not buying it.

I sure as a hell hope not. He's 35. I would rather keep Larsson. I would of loved to have Marleau 4 years ago, but not now. Ek said for a veteran so that's either Marleau, Thornton, or Pavelski. 35, 35, and 30 year olds. Just what we need, players about to retire. A (frank)ing joke.

You seem tuned into this, so I'll ask: Is Larsson's play the problem, or does DeBoer simply not like him as a player, or was he simply overrated and doesn't have the physical or mental ability to match his draft placement?

Can't you do math? The Devils have 14 FORWARDS! You should have at least said Larsson and an extra forward. Now, your rumor is not even believable. Wink, wink!

I don't doubt that the Sharks would like to move Burns back to forward. I think they were hoping Nieto would step up into the top 6 role and I don't think he has.

So they have 5 top 6 forwards, and their 6th top 6 forward is playing defense. So by subtracting Marleau or Thornton, to get Larsson, to move Burns back to forward, is a lateral move.

A forward can be demoted. I don't see NJ tinkering with their lineup while they are winning though. Only way I see this is if NJ believes they need an upgrade somewhere.

I guess in some sense but Sharks are looking to move away from Thornton and Marleau. I do not believe Larsson and a pick is good enough to land either one though.
