I see today is the day they can officially sign him.

Anyone know the latest news on Sandis?

Good question. They may since they lost Hannan to the Avs. Their D is quite young and fairly inexperienced.

Would probably be a decent sigingin based on games played/bonuese.

Sharks re-sign defenseman Ozolinsh after extended tryout

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The San Jose Sharks signed defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh on Friday, adding the seven-time All-Star to their roster after an extended tryout.


Ozolinsh, who fought injuries while scoring just three points in 21 games for the New York Rangers last season, spent the past six weeks proving his skills in the Sharks' organization, including a short stint with their AHL affiliate in Worcester.

Ozolinsh was expected to be in the Sharks' lineup Friday night against the Los Angeles Kings -- just over 12 years after San Jose traded him to Colorado for Owen Nolan.

"He has worked very hard, and we look forward to him helping this hockey club moving forward," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said.

The 35-year-old Latvian spent his first 3½ NHL seasons with the Sharks, setting the franchise's single-season record for defensemen with 64 points during the 1993-94 campaign. He has 164 goals and 384 assists in his NHL career with San Jose, Colorado, Carolina, Florida, Anaheim and the Rangers.

Ozolinsh entered the NHL's substance-abuse treatment program in December 2005. A few days after the 2006 season ended, he was arrested on a drunken driving charge that was later reduced to driving while impaired.
