Evgeny Svechnikov Signs One-Year Deal After Failing to Receive Qualifying Offer
The San Jose Sharks announced today that they have agreed to terms with F Evgeny Svechnikov on a one-year, two-way contract, per agent Dan Milstein.
Svechnikov -- Andrei's brother -- played last season for the Winnipeg Jets, totaling 19 points in 72 games. He clearly hasn't matched the output of his younger brother, but there could be something here. The Jets -- generally -- weren't great last season at 5v5, so perhaps you could attribute his lack or production on systemic issues, below-average teammates, etc. After all, Svechnkikov scored 51 points in 74 games in his first pro season with the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins. After that, his scoring fell off a cliff. So, I wonder if he can regain his scoring touch on a retooling San Jose Sharks team.

Per CapFriendly, Svechnikov will maintain RFA status upon the deal's expiration, despite being an unrestricted free-agent upon receiving no qualifying offer from Winnipeg. Additionally, San Jose have $229,000 in remaining cap space and zero remaining RFAs.
