The San Jose Sharks signed goaltender Jakub Skarek to a one-year deal worth $775,000. Skarek, previously with the New York Islanders, was not offered a contract and was considering playing in Finland. General Manager Mike Grier aimed to fill a gap in the Sharks' goaltending by choosing Skarek, who possess professional experience despite underwhelming statistics with a .890 save percentage in the AHL. He will serve as a veteran presence for younger goaltenders Gabriel Carriere and Matt Davis, rather than as a primary starter.
General Manager Mike Grier stated, "Jakub has a plethora of professional experience in net at just 25 years old. He is a big, athletic goaltender with a lot of compete in his game."
Skarek has played several seasons in the AHL, totaling 161 professional games and 9,126 minutes in the net, with a career .890 save percentage.
