ESPN.com - The Sharks once again signed a key player before he could test the free-agent market, agreeing Thursday to a $9M, three-year deal with forward Devin Setoguchi.
Setoguchi was eligible to become a restricted free agent July 1 but wanted to stay in San Jose. The feeling was mutual as the Sharks got the deal done early.
"I couldn't be happier right now," Setoguchi said on a conference call. "San Jose is such a great place to play. The organization is great. The team is top-notch. All the way through, it's the best place to play in the National Hockey League."
That's a steal of a deal for the Sharks. Well done San Jose.
