Niemi Inks Extension
Posted on 2 Mar 2011 by Alex Wasserstrom.
In the wake of what was a quiet Trade Deadline day for San Jose, the Sharks announced yesterday that they have re-signed goaltender Antti Niemi to a 4-year contract extension. The deal is reportedly worth $3.8 million per year. Niemi has been great since becoming the clear starter after Antero Niittymaki went down with an injury. Niemi has really turned his season around after a tough start bo...

The Sharks' 5-3 loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday night was their 5th loss in their last 7 games. It didn't help that their defense is just about as banged up as LA King Kevin Westgarth's face after fighting John Scott of the Blackhawks the other night – Niclas Wallin, Kent Huskins, and Jason Demers were out with injuries, Justin Braun and Mike Moore were recalled from Worcester to fill th...

Report: Sharks to Sign Niemi
Posted on 1 Sep 2010 by Alex Wasserstrom.
Several NHL sources confirmed today that the San Jose Sharks will sign G Antti Niemi to a 1-year $2 million contract as early as tomorrow. The Chicago Blackhawks walked away from Niemi's $2.75 million arbitration award last month allowing the Finnish goaltender to test the waters of free-agency. In a somewhat surprising move by GM Doug Wilson after signing Antero Niittymaki earlier this summer...
