On the Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 The acquisition of  Erik Karlsson from the Ottawa Senators is all the rage in San Jose. What will Karlsson add to the Sharks’ lineup?

#2 Karlsson says he’s worth an eight-year contract. Talk about the deal–Karlsson got to come to San Jose!

#3 Karlsson spent nine years in Ottawa and helped the Sens get close to the Stanley Cup in 2017. The reason why Karlsson left is that he was asking for more than what small market Ottawa could afford.

#4 The Sharks trimmed their roster after Thursday’s game in Anaheim, sending 16 players to juniors and 12 players going to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda.

#5 Ivan Chekhovich scored twice against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night. Chekhovich was sent down. Looks like they want Chekhovich to get more experience in the AHL first.
