"This series of trades has allowed us to accomplish several organizational goals," said Wilson. "We have witnessed some tremendous growth in our younger forwards over the past season and we feel that we have another group of players that are ready to challenge for additional ice time, including Kevin Labanc, Marcus Sorensen, Dylan Gambrell, Max Letunov, Rudolfs Balcers, Antti Suomela, Vincent Praplan and Lukas Radil. These transactions have also allowed us to add to our pool of draft selections, as well as free up a substantial amount of cap space for internal and external player options in the coming months.
"I also want thank Mikkel and Julius for their commitment to the Sharks organization. They are both tremendous individuals and we wish them the best in the future."
