$4 million player benched for an entire period.

Everything's fine for the San Jose Sharks, they're second in their division and Brent Burns is producing at an even higher pace than last year, like that was possible. A true powerhouse in the NHL, the Sharks came really close to a Stanley Cup last year, losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins in finals. Last summer, they signed Mikkel Boedker thinking he was the missing piece of the puzzle. They gave the Danish skater a contract of $16 million tying him to the club for four years.

This season, Boedker hasn't come close to the player he was the last 3 seasons, scoring only 2 goals in 22 games so far. Head coach Peter DeBoer was so exasperated with Boedker's play, he benched him for the entire third period last night. "Some guys it was just circumstance. Some guys didn't deserve to play.” said DeBoer after their 3-2 loss against the Ducks.
