Which Sharks player could benefit the most from Mike Grier’s trade deadline move?

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks once again moved out a defenseman at the NHL trade deadline, and once again, Shakir Mukhamadullin is getting a chance to play significant minutes.

Wanting to recoup an asset for at least one of his pending unrestricted free agents, Sharks general manager Mike Grier on Friday traded Timothy Liljegren to the Washington Capitals for a fourth-round draft pick this year.

Liljegren was averaging just over 20 minutes of ice time per game this season, often playing alongside Mario Ferraro.
