06/26/2010 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Jose Sharks have re-signed center Scott Nichol and defenseman Niclas Wallin to one-year contracts.
They were due to become un-restricted free agents July 1, when the free agency period begins. Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Nichol, 35, set career highs in assists (15), points (19) and games played (79) last season, his first with San Jose. He also led the league in faceoff percentage (60.6) and was 12th in hits (226).
"We knew when we brought Scott in last season that he was ultra-competitive," said Sharks general manager Doug Wilson. "Not only did he meet that expectation, but he also brought a very business-like mentality to the rink each night, stepping up as a leader and an important centerman for us."
In 496 career games over parts of 10 seasons with San Jose, Nashville, Chicago, Calgary and Buffalo, Nichol has recorded 48 goals and 63 assists.
Wallin, 35, was acquired by San Jose in a February trade with Carolina, where he had spent the first eight-plus seasons of his career and won a Stanley Cup in 2006.
In 70 games between the Hurricanes and Sharks this past season, Wallin posted seven assists and 49 penalty minutes. In 540 career contests, he has recorded 18 goals, 53 assists and 414 penalty minutes.
"Niclas is a physical veteran presence and will help solidify our blueline," Wilson said. "We were proud of the way he battled through a tough injury during the playoffs and are looking forward to having him at full health."
The Sharks have also re-signed center Andrew Desjardins to a one-year contract. Desjardins, 23, spent last season with San Jose's AHL affiliate in Worcester and had 19 goals and 27 assists.
