Sheng’s Daily: Behind the Scenes of the Barclay Goodrow Trade
This day yesterday, the San Jose Sharks acquired Erik Karlsson.
The Dallas Stars were rumored to be a team that was in the Karlsson derby, but word is, they refused to give up then-prospect Miro Heiskanen for the two-time Norris Trophy winner.
That’s looking like a fantastic decision.
San Jose Hockey Now spoke with Rick Bowness, John Stevens, Jason Dickinson, and Esa Lindell about the incomparable Heiskanen, while breaking down his masterful Game Three performance.
