Hmm, looks like I was wrong about Rahimi. It appears he loves hitting, but sometimes puts himself out of position. And apparently he was demoted to the ECHL (because the Moose had too many defenseman). Perhaps he was coming off of injury when I saw him, or maybe he had just been called up then. I guess he sounds like he's a Douglas Murray lite, would you agree?

Based on what you provided he does. I honestly haven't heard of these guys the Sharks picked up until today. A number of Sharks blogs (and comments) seem to think something big/else is gonna happen now that we are under the cap with this trade. However we have 17 players signed, so we need to do just than just acquire Heatley (Ehrhoff was one of the trading pieces for him & Heatley to the sharks "talks" seemed to have gone cold).

Well, White has been the butt end of jokes on Canuck forums since he was drafted. He might turn into a checker one day (he certainly does not seem to posess top 6 hockey IQ) but I wouldn't bet on it. However, it appears if he's not signed to a contract by the 2011 season, you guys get an extra 2nd round pick (#55, since that would be the 25th pick in the 2nd round - White was drafted #25 in the first round) from the league. This makes the trade make more sense - a prospect and a (delayed) 2nd rounder for Erhoff + cap dump.
