The Sharks have acquired defenseman Roman Polak and forward Nick Spaling from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forward Raffi Torres and second round draft picks in 2017 and 2018, the team announced on Monday.
“Roman and Nick are both quality, character players that will complement and enhance our current roster,” general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. “Our existing group of players has battled hard and they have earned the right to have every chance to succeed this season.”
The move gives some Sharks some needed depth at two positions, with a pair of players that are both unrestricted free agents at the end of the season.
