In the case of Hoffman, who is entering the last year of his contract, the Sharks now have another possible chip to play with when next season’s trade deadline starts to approach.“There were a few times maybe where we were starting to make progress (on a trade), something would happen and we’d take a step back and not be able to do it,” Grier said of the exhausting ordeal. “But I think it was necessary to have a little bit of patience and get a deal that we’re pretty happy with.”While the NHL pla...
