SAN JOSE — Sharks general manager Doug Wilson was back in San Jose on Saturday morning, watching his team go through the paces on the second day of training camp two days after he pulled off a trade for defenseman Erik Karlsson.
Wilson might have been a bit tired from the flight back from Ottawa, where he met with Karlsson and his representatives and secured the deal with the Senators. But there was no questioning his enthusiasm, especially after assembling a roster the he believes has a real shot at winning a Stanley Cup.
As practice continued outside one of the doors of his office, Wilson chatted with a few reporters in his office Saturday to talk about the Karlsson trade and its aftermath.
