NHL: As expected, Vladislav Namestnikov will not play for the San Jose Sharks in their game against the St. Louis Blues at SAP Center on Thursday.
SAN JOSE – Forward Vladislav Namestnikov is property of the San Jose Sharks but there was anticipation that he would be moved to another team prior to the NHL trade deadline on Friday at noon.
Sharks coach David Quinn said the trade caught him off guard, but added that it could make sense in the long run. Namestnikov played for Quinn for one full season in 2018-19 when the two were with the New York Rangers. Eyssimont played all 20 games in San Jose with Logan Couture, and during 5-on-5 play, the two had a Corsi-for percentage of 60.14, and out-chanced the opposition 108-66, per Natural Stat Trick.
The Sharks have three pending UFA’s in goalie James Reimer and forwards Nick Bonino and Andreas Johnsson, who was acquired from the New Jersey Devils on Sunday as part of the Timo Meier trade.
