SAN JOSE Sharks forward Kevin Labanc said he has thought about what might happen on or before the NHL's March 3 trade deadline, but he has bigger things on his mind.For one, he is about to become a father for the first time; his wife, Kelly, is due next week.For another, things aren't so good at work.
