Predators Add Depth In Minor Move With Sharks

February 25, 2018 at 3:02 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 4 Comments

The Nashville Predators announced they have made a minor deal as they acquired forward Brandon Bollig and goaltender Troy Grosenick from the San Jose Sharks for a sixth-round pick in the 2018 draft.

It’s the second move for the Predators today, who earlier traded away forward Pontus Aberg in a three-team deal, that netted them a fourth-round pick in the 2018 draft.

Bollig, a 31-year-old veteran, hasn’t played a game for the Sharks this season. The winger has played the past two years in the AHL and likely is being brought aboard to increase the depth on the Milwaukee Admirals, their AHL affiliate. With the Barracuda, Bollig has eight goals and two assists in 45 games this year with 68 penalty minutes.

Grosenick also will provide the team some depth on the goaltending depth chart. The 28-year-old has served as an emergency backup this year for the Sharks, but has never appeared in a game. He currently has a 2.98 GAA with the Barracuda in 20 appearances.

    Could this be a move by the Sharks to create some roster space to add contracts? I think they were at 47/50 prior to this move, but this trade brings them to 45/50 so it could be a precursor to add multiple pieces prior to the deadline.

    I thought that Grosenick was supposed to be the new backup when Dell decides not to re-sign with the Sharks?!?

      I think they will pay dell the money. It’s worth it to have 2 stud goalies!!

        Not when you are paying two goalies starter-level money. Jones is going to have a $5.75m cap hit. Anything close to or above $3m (which is roughly the going rate for a lower end starting goalie) means the Sharks would be paying over $8m for two goalies. They should be able to find a good backup goalie for less than what Dell should get in free agency.
