The San Jose Sharks signed Swedish forward Filip Sandberg to a two-year entry-level contract, the club announced today. Sandberg will make $925,000/season in the NHL, and $70,000 in the minors, according to Cap Friendly.
"Filip is a very creative player who sees the ice well and can create offense in limited space," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. "He plays a high-pressure, puck-pursuit game and his battle level is something we have been impressed with, especially against older players. We are excited for him to join our organization."
Sandberg, much like recently-signed defenseman Radim Simek, whose deal was also announced today, fits the profile of San Jose’s recent European signings.
