That's a very cheap deal. I thought it would've been at least a 1mil x 1 year + higher minors salary. I guess it's really a prove it year for Bordeleau. I think he could be one of the players they swap next year similar to Wiesblatt. There is just so much logjam in forwards right now and Bordeleau is probably projected to play in AHL with this depth.
It looks like the Sharks just said take the QO because you won’t get any more. So they didn’t want to give up but wouldn’t do anything above the care min to keep his rights.That's a very cheap deal.

I truly wonder if the handshake agreement is "you make the team out of camp, then you have the chance to prove yourself. If you don't make the team, your contract is so cheap that we'll move you ASAP and the $ won't be in the way."LOL 80k in the minors is insulting
This makes a lot of sense to be honest. I feel like Nashville or Montreal being the targets if he gets traded.I truly wonder if the handshake agreement is "you make the team out of camp, then you have the chance to prove yourself.

It was the QO. The Sharks said take it or leave it. I bet they didn’t even listen if he would take less NHL for more AHL. It was not a negotiation because Bordeleau had no leverage.I truly wonder if the handshake agreement is "you make the team out of camp, then you have the chance to prove yourself.

Seriously, that was the thing that was the most shocking to me about this contract. He’s a pretty good AHLer.LOL 80k in the minors is insulting
Im still baffled by that AHL number. Did they forget a 1 in front of it.Seriously, that was the thing that was the most shocking to me about this contract. He’s a pretty good AHLer.
Is he waiver eligible? Without CapFriendly I have no idea.
He's probably in tough to make the team so the AHL salary is shocking, he clearly had no leverage here, rooting for him though
This, let's see what he can do with this last shot3LW spot is there for the taking. If Bordeleau can't beat out the likes of Kostin and Grundstrom for it, probably time for both parties to move on.
I believe he has 21 more games before he looses waiver exemption.Seriously, that was the thing that was the most shocking to me about this contract. He’s a pretty good AHLer.

If you look at the tweet the contract terms are the exact same as the QO. There was no negotiation. I’m sure Bords wanted more AHL money and the Sharks said no. He has no leverage and was forced to take his QO.Im still baffled by that AHL number. Did they forget a 1 in front of it.
Do they understand hes still playing in SJ?
Is he working the pro shop at night for extra money?
This is how I view it too (same for all the spots that are "taken" by vets.3LW spot is there for the taking. If Bordeleau can't beat out the likes of Kostin and Grundstrom for it, probably time for both parties to move on.

There is a long history of guys who had to change their game from being a stud in juniors/college to being a role player in the NHL, Grier being one of them. Bords looked like he accepted that transition last year, let's see how he works his game under that scope.
