Grading Mike Grier's First Free Agency Class

San Jose Sharks General Manager has been very busy in his first season, look back at his first crop of free agent signings and how they performed in their first season with the Sharks. Start with Grier's best signing in Nico Sturm and how he made a huge impact on the revolving door that has been the third-line center. Also examine how Matt Benning has been a great addition despite the length of the contract (6:00), and how Scott Harrington and Evgeny Svechnikov were good signings, especially for the circumstances (10:00). Then how Oskar Lindblom and Markus Nutivaara were swings that didn't work out for the Sharks (15:00). Finally, look at the players on NHL contracts who mostly played for the San Jose Barracuda and how Andrew Agozzino and Derrick Pouliot became important pieces for the Barracuda (20:00).
