Sharks move up
to land Czech forward
Sitting in the 28th position in the 2004 NHL Entry
Draft didn't sit well with Sharks brass on Saturday, so they worked a three for
two deal with the Dallas Stars, moving up to the 22nd spot in order to land
forward Lukas Kaspar. San Jose sent the 28th, 52nd and 91st pick to their
division rivals in exchange for the Stars first round draft spot and the 153rd
overall pick. The Sharks felt they had to move up to land Kaspar, a native of
the Czech Republic. San Jose also drafted goaltender Thomas Greiss with the
94th overall pick after exchanging a set of picks with the Boston Bruins.
