Should the Sharks look into Sheldon Souray?

As sad as it is to say, the Oilers may have effectively ended Souray's career by offering him too much money. He would be worth this much in Edmonton if he is healthy and on-board for the team, but he is definitely not worth this much money to other teams contending for the playoffs. He is a poster-boy at best, and will get people into arenas for games and skills competitions, but will lose teams games.

Souray is a defensive liability who cannot make intelligent breakout passes consistently. His powerplay 'output' does not make up for his defensive shortcomings.

As an Oiler fan, I am happier to see him gone than here. Wonder why no one else is picking him up?

First, it would only count for half salary if Souray was claimed on re-entry waivers, not waivers. Second, whether its waivers or re-entry waivers, the Oilers would get nothing in return, it is not a trade.

Sadly, I don't think the Sharks have the cap space even at half the salary for Souray.

Souray recently broke his hand, don't know the severity, but I don't think he will be playing in the near future.

For sure.He is a very good player. Excellent shot,powerplay specialist,tough and also gives good interviews.
