Sheppard won't play for Sharks this season
No surprise here with this announcement reported by Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area. Personally, I think he should have remained in Worcester. I realize that sending down and submitting Sheppard to waivers would've meant any team could have claimed him, but I don't think there would have been much, if any interest in claiming him off waivers around the league.
After scoring 41 goals the past two seasons in Minnesota, Nolan had a chance to play a third with the Wild, but took a pass. Instead he pinned his hopes on being able to sign with San Jose — a more serious cup contender for one thing; his off-season home for another — as a free agent. But it didn’t go the way he wanted as the Sharks are opting to go with younger prospects such as Cameron Macintyre or Frazer Mclaren in the role Nolan would have filled. And by the time that was clear, the Wild had gone out and signed Eric Nystrom, Matt Cullen and John Madden — leaving no room for Nolan to return.

"Let me tell you that when you have a choice and you have something to choose from, you always want to play for a good team, compete for medals and such. I will speak for myself, but the situation was such that I had no choice of a good team to play for and to play at the high level. To me it was very important to play for a good team, to try to win."

The deal is done, and he should be in the line-up against the Maple Leafs. You can all relax now.
5. Doug Wilson, San Jose Sharks
Marco Sturm(notes), Wayne Primeau(notes) and Brad Stuart(notes) for Joe Thornton(notes).
Next!
Oh, you wanted more? Consider that the San Jose Sharks have made the playoffs in each of Wilson's five seasons at the helm, winning three division titles and making the conference finals once. He's made some bold decisions beyond the Thornton trade, like dealing for Brian Campbell(notes). He's drafted extraordinarily well for the GM of a successful team, like finding Joe Pavelski(notes) in the seventh round.
Obviously, the knock on Wilson is that the Sharks haven't won but jack and squat in the postseason; to that, we'd ask if that's Wilson's fault? Have the pieces Wilson put in place failed him, or is he putting the wrong pieces in place? We'd err on the side of the former rather than the latter, and celebrate a strong decade of work.
Demers sent to Worcester along with Ferriero, Blake and (probably) Setoguchi ready to face Canucks
Not surprised Ferriero was sent down as the shuttle has been active, but Demers comes as somewhat as a surprise. Although, I did call it (sort of) in the Gameday Thread after hearing his total playing time.
He Returns!
Looks like Mitchell will be back Friday per WTC.
Like Patrick Marleau, who is off to one of his best seasons. He's not going to score 63 goals (trust us), but he is every bit the offensive force he ever has been. This is linked to his losing the captaincy, and like any good plot turn, it's wrong. He wasn't that excited to be the captain, so losing the gig meant remarkably little. He plays, he doesn't lead, it's always been thus and it always will be.

Patty Marleau is not a leader? REALLY?????
NHL.com gets in on the Heatley rumor action.
It confirms what we already knew, but I find it hilarious they are later to the punch than CSN Bay Area.
Drew Remenda Interview on KNBR
The interview is actually in two parts, and the second part can be found after clicking on "The Razor and Mr. T". Interesting interview that shows Remenda's opinions on a potential Heatley deal, DW's moves, and what players he would like and ones he wants to step up.
Ehrhoff on the move?
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the Blue Jackets proposed a deal that would swap winger Jason Chimera for Christian Ehrhoff, but Doug Wilson declined. Personally, I would love to have Chimera for third-line scoring, but it would take more to give up Ehrhoff.
