The Sharks will reportedly make a late offseason addition and sign F Evgeny Svechnikov, the lesser-known Svechnikov in the NHL, to a one-year contract worth $750k. This was first reported by Svechnikov's agent, Dan Milstein of Gold Star Sports.
Evgeny Svechnikov played four seasons with the Detroit Red Wings from 2016 to 2021 before signing a two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets in 2021 as a free agent. He recorded seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points in 72 games during that 2021 season with the Jets. In total, Svechnikov has 31 points in 113 career NHL games.
Overall, this is a low-risk, prove-it deal. If Evgeny Svechnikov fits in well with the Sharks and exceeds expectations, this will be a steal of a contract. If things don't work out between the two parties, it won't be a big deal or look too bad. Hope this helps the other Svechnikov rebound and get his playing career back on track.
