Where Sharks stand in Western Conference after Gustav Nyquist trade

Sharks general manager Doug Wilson already pushed his chips all in back in September, when San Jose acquired all-world defenseman Erik Karlsson.

He had one of the best hands at the table leading up to the NHL trade deadline, yet Wilson still scrounged his pockets for a few more chips to raise his big bet, trading a couple of draft picks for Detroit Red Wings playmaker Gustav Nyquist.

Before you ask, we're well-aware this wouldn't be possible in any officially sanctioned card game of cards or dice. It's in the name: "All in" means you've bet everything you have.
