San Jose Sharks sign SHL goal scoring leader and MVP

The San Jose Sharks announced on Thursday that they've agreed to terms on a one-year contract with 2021-22 SHL goal scoring leader and Canadian Olympian Max Veronneau. Sharks beat writer Curtis Pashelka is reporting that Veronneau's contract is a two-way deal and worth $750,000.

The 26-year-old has spent the last two years in Sweden. This season, he played for Leksands IF, where he tallied 60 points (34 goals, 26 assists), fourteen penalty minutes, and was a plus-eighteen.

His strong play during the 2021-22 season drew the attention of Hockey Canada, who named him to their Olympic roster as an alternate for the Winter Games in (Beijing) China.

Veronneau has a little bit of NHL experience dating back to the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons when he played in a total of sixteen games for his hometown Ottawa Senators.
