Rivet lead all Sharks defenseman in scoring (with San Jose) last season registering 5 goals, 30 assists and a team leading 104 penalty minutes in 74 games played. Veteran leadership has become somewhat of a buzzword when referencing certain players, but Craig Rivet and Vincent Damphousse are two individuals who have best exemplified the trait in San Jose over the last 10 years.<br/><br/> "Under the cap system, difficult decisions have to be made and this isone of them. Craig is a true professional and we wouldlike to thank him for everything that he has done here." San Jose General Manager and EVP said of the decision to trade Rivet.<br/><br/> Also confirmed by San Jose on Friday afternoon, the Sharks finalized a trade to Tampa Bay for defenseman Dan Boyle and Brad Lukowich for former Hobey Baker and 2-time NCAA champion Matt Carle, 2006 first round draft pick Ty Wishart, a 2009 first round draft pick, and a fourth round selection in 2010.<br/><br/> <a href="http://www.hockey-reference.com/players/b/boyleda01.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dan Boyle</a> registered 25 points, 4 goals and 21 assists in 37 games played for the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. Boyle missed 36 games after suffering a freak injury that cut 3 tendons in his wrist. He returned January 24th and scored two goals against the Ottawa Senators. "Dan is one of the elite offensive-minded defensemen in the Leaguetoday, being able to acquire an elite player in hisprime that has won a Stanley Cup will help this organization get towhere we want to go." San Jose Sharks General Manager and EVP Doug Wilson said of the acquisition of Boyle.<br/><br/> Also a part of the Boyle-Carle trade, veteran defenseman and former defensive partner of Boyle, <a href="http://www.hockey-reference.com/players/l/lukowbr01.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brad Lukowich</a> also will be coming to San Jose. 6-foot-1, 205-pound Lukowich has won 2 Stanley Cups with Dallas (1999) and Tampa Bay (2004), and has registered 22 goals and 81 assists in 8 full<strong/> seasons with Dallas, Tampa Bay, New York Islanders, and New Jersey Devils. "Brad is a tough competitor that isn't afraid to give up his body for the sake of the team," Doug Wilson said.<br/><br/> [Update] <a href="http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/jul/05/sp-something-had-to-give-in-this-whirlwind-week/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Seen Boyle?</a> - Tampa Tribune.<br/><br/> <blockquote>Standout and stand-up Lightning defenseman Dan Boyle has been "convinced" to be traded to San Jose, the capper to a blinding whirlwind of done deals by the new driving force on Channelside Drive. Those ATM thrill seekers, the real Lightning bolts, co-owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie, now plan to draw their first breaths since taking over this last-place franchise. Barry Melrose's hair would have stood on end with excitement if it wasn't axle-greased down.<br/><br/> Have you ever seen anything like this? It was a week to leave Lightning followers too dazzled and dazed to break it down. It was lights, camera, checkbook. This is not going to be boring - ever. Meet Jerry Jones' long lost twins. Koules and Barrie promised to be active. Heck, they've been close to radioactive.</blockquote><br/> [Update2] <a href="http://www.tampabay.com/sports/hockey/lightning/article661996.ece" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hold off judging
