A pair of ex-Sharks signed new deals with their current clubs today. Recently-traded defenseman Mirco Mueller signed a two-year, $1,700,000 contract ($850,000 AAV) with the New Jersey Devils, while Long Beach Native Matt Nieto signed a one-year, $1,000,000 deal to return to the Colorado Avalanche.
Mueller, who was traded last month ahead of the Expansion Draft, will earn $775,000 in the first year of his contract, and $925,000 in the second. His contract is a one-way deal, meaning he will be paid the same if he is sent down to the AHL as he is in the NHL.
