- San Jose, Ca
Monday night, Sharks GM Ryan Schnell struck a deal with Senators GM Rob Pitman to send struggling forward Alexander Korolyuk and a 6th round draft pick to Ottawa. The Sharks receive forward Richard Park, goaltending prospect Jason Churchill, and a 3rd round pick. Park has started the season on fire with 5 goals and 7 points in 10 games. The Sharks are hoping he can bring that kind of play to help out the struggling 2nd line. He will start on the left wing with Chris Gratton at center and Scott Walker at right wing. Park is a favorite of GM Schnell, and Sharks management are going to do everything they can to keep him in San Jose beyond this season. Sharks fans can expect Park to bring great speed as well as a strong two way game. Park will make his Sharks debut tomorrow night in Phoenix.
