The San Jose Swede Squad may be gaining a new member.
According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, highly-touted Swedish forward Fredrik Handemark has agreed to terms with the San Jose Sharks. The club has not confirmed this report.
In Early March, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported in his 31 Thoughts column that both the Sharks and the Detroit Red Wings were in talks with Handemark, the captain of the Malmo Redhawks of the SHL. Friedman didn’t offer any other details, though both teams have exactly five Swedish players on their roster and aggressive European scouting departments.
