Our first Sharks offseason mailbag features the upcoming expansion draft, Micheal Haley, and Jannik Hansen...
Who's going to Vegas? (michael dalsky @rudy7799)
The NHL expansion draft, in case you’ve forgotten, will take place in late June with the Vegas Golden Knights roster set to be announced on June 21.
At this point, I believe it’s more likely the Sharks will lose a defenseman than a forward or a goalie.
It makes the most sense for San Jose to utilize the seven forwards/three defensemen/one goalie option in order to protect the maximum amount of players, rather than the eight skaters and one goalie.
