Roenick Sharking It Up

Jeremy Roenick isn't retiring after all. He has signed a one-year contract for $500K with the San Jose Sharks. It's surprising that a decent team signed him rather than a team looking for some veteran presence. The Sharks have a young squad but also have players such as Marleau, Thornton, Grier, Rivet, McLaren, etc. to bring the veteran presence.

If he finds a good spot on the 3rd or 4th line and contribute, then he's an excellent deal for the Sharks at almost the league minimum. If he can't, well he just might retire after he finds the net 5 times to reach 500 in his career. It'll be no real skin off the Sharks back.
