Guerin & Rivet in, Gorges & Neimenen out

Well, I certaintly was not surprised when the Sharks traded Gorges to Montreal for a defensman. I think most of us were surprised it was Rivet and not Sourey that came west, but we'll take the help, regardless of the player. (Ok, they have to be able to play fairly well and have some experience). I was surprised to hear that Bill Guerin became a Shark too. Nice!

The Sharks have lost their scoring confidence and the addition of another good forward helps the team out. The fact Guerin has been on a SC winning team helps, as does his experience. Hopefully, with the experience brought to the Sharks by Rivet and Guerin, they can gain confidence and become the offensive threat they were predicted to be early in the season.
