After weeks of speculation over the contract status of San Jose Sharks winger Ryane Clowe various sources report the club has re-signed him to a multi-year deal.
Clowe's new contract is for four years and $14 million, counting as $3.5 million per season.
Heading into last week's NHL entry draft weekend there was talk negotiations between the two sides had stalled. GM Doug Wilson even entertained offers for Clowe, although it could've merely been a ploy on his part to force negotiations along.
Whatever the reason Clowe's now under contract for four years and the 26-year-old winger could go on to become a valuable part of the Sharks offensive attack.
Last season was Clowe's best to date, with 22 goals and 52 points in 71 games, which was also his healthiest thus far. Injuries have plagued him throughout his four year NHL career but if he can stay healthy he has the potential to reach 30 goals and perhaps 65-70 points.
