Sharks GM Doug Wilson: 'We Like Our Goaltending Now'

Filed under: SharksWatching Antti Niemi stymie his team again and again during the Western Conference finals wasn't fun for San Jose general manager Doug Wilson, who still has the image seared in his mind.

Now, though, Wilson doesn't have to worry about Niemi -- the Stanley Cup-winning goaltender is now a member of the Sharks after signing a one-year, $2 million deal on Thursday morning. Niemi, a victim of salary cap limitations in Chicago, is expected to be the primary man in net in San Jose, taking over from longtime goalie Evgeni Nabokov, a free agent who was not re-signed.

"We like our goaltending now," Wilson said on a conference call. "We feel going into camp our goaltending is very strong. If you'd told me in July we'd end up at this point, I'd be very pleased."
