Jones Flipped to San Jose

The Boston Bruins and their cap-strapped business was able to flip goaltender Martin Jones, who they acquired in the deal that sent Milan Lucic to Los Angeles, turning him into a 1st round pick and an NCAA prospect.

2016 1st Round Draft Pick

The Sharks, who are in need of a starting goalie, after they dealt the rights to Antti Niemi to Dallas, appear to be taking a shot at Jones, someone they have seen before, as he played for their division rival from across the state.  Sending a 1st round pick suggests that they have a lot of faith in Jones, so it looks like this could be the deal that gives them their starting goalie next season.

First things first, however... they will have to sign him to a new deal, as he is going to be a restricted free agent, starting tomorrow.
