Erik Karlsson picked up Gustav Nyquist from airport after Sharks trade originally appeared on nbcsportsbayarea.com Doug Wilson has made a habit of acquiring a major piece for the Sharks' playoff push at each of the last two trade deadlines. The Sharks, in return, have developed a tradition of sorts aimed at expediting the chemistry-building process for that traded player and his new team. Last year, Wilson pried Evander Kane away from the Buffalo Sabres, and none other than "Jumbo" Joe Thornton picked him up at the airport upon his arrival in San Jose. Continue to Article
