Sharks sign D Hjalmarsson to offer sheet

Hockey Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Jose Sharks have signed restricted free agent defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson to an offer sheet.

Hjalmarsson skated in 77 games last season for the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks, who have seven days to decide if they want to match the offer. Should they decline, Chicago would receive compensatory draft picks in the form of a first and third-round pick in the 2011 draft.

"We feel Niklas is a top-three defenseman in the National Hockey League," said Sharks general manager Doug Wilson. "We saw his abilities first-hand in the playoffs last season and he was an important piece of a Stanley Cup-winning team. He is a solid player that would be a good fit on our team now and in the future."

The 23-year-old Swede finished up his first full season in the NHL with two goals and 15 assists while posting a plus-nine rating. He added a goal and seven assists with a plus-nine rating during Chicago's 22-game run to the Cup.

Hjalmarsson previously played parts of two seasons with Chicago and has compiled three goals and 18 helpers over 111 career regular-season games.
