Some of these players ha a decent trade value and won't be "given away" for free.
Smith
Emelin
Wingels
Stafford
Filppula
To name a few.
Add Lehtera to that list
Who would pay much for Lehtera? He had 34 points playing primarily with a 70 and 60 point wingers. He is awful on defense and needs to be sheltered. He makes $4.7M AAV. I hesitated to suggest him for this thread, not because he had value, but because he is close to a cap dump. I am afraid, we'd have to pay someone to take him.

Add Dillon to that list too. Dillon has a fair amount of value, but is pretty dispensable to us at the moment. Him still being on the team + the Schlemko signing means that there is no room to play the guy who played exceedingly well for us as the 3rd pairing RD (Dylan DeMelo) last year until we acquired Polak. Since the general opinion of Sharks fans here on HF is that DeMelo is better than Dillon right now, we'd be quite happy to see Dillon moved out to make room for DeMelo to keep developing at the NHL level.
to good home:
Our "Joffrey" is an occasionally healthy, senior fella who has had all his shots and has been "fixed" numerous times for a host of ailments. As an older boy, he'll help keep the pups in line when not visiting the trainer. Ideally, you'll provide a safe place for him to play as he enters the twilight of his career. He likes regular grooming, and lots of time away from the rest of the pack to lick his many wounds. Joffrey is friendly, outgoing and social-media-savvy.
Adoption fee: 5.25 million for two years.
"Milan" came to us last season. Once a prominent piece in Ottawa, he became a stray when the team moved in a younger direction. He was acquired in a package in exchange for "Dion", an aggressive, larger male who did well at Babcock's obedience school before finding his forever home.
While a bit timid, this senior fella still remembers a few tricks, and with a relatively low one-time adoption fee of just 4 million, he's yours for a box of milk-bones.
We also have a "Jared", who is an extra large breed, but his hip problems make him unsuitable for adoption.
Unfortunately, "Robidas", who has been in our care for a number of years, hasn't responded well to treatment and is scheduled to be euthanized. Donations are gladly accepted, to be redistributed to the NHLPA pension plan.

They should both be moved but I don't think they really qualify for these kind of deals unless we run into cap problems. They both could easily return at least 2ndsWingels
Dillon
Can both contribute on squads in the NHL, and on the Sharks even, but should be moved.
