Sharks Sign Brent Burns to 5-Year Extension

press release @ sjsharks.com

This is awesome!  When we traded Devin Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle, and a first-round draft pick for this guy in June, he had only one year left on his contract.  For what we gave up to get him, that's not nearly enough.  But now he will be a mainstay of our blueline for a projected 6 years!  Huzzah!

Our Roster's Individuals' Pedigrees

"History of the Sharks Roster" @ Fear the Fin

This is really cool!  Did you know that we got Ryane Clowe as compensation for Jeff Norton?  Or that Thornton came from Craig Janney, Igor Larionov, and Andrei Zyuzin?

Upon first glance, Jamie McGinn has the coolest pedigree. It includes John MacLean, Niko Dimitrakos, the draft pick that became Danny Briere, Pat Falloon, Dody Wood, and Doug Bodger!  Patrick Marleau's is pretty good, too.
