The San Jose Sharks are targeting skaters who have more of an edge to their game to fill out some of their prospect depth along the boards.
One of these pickups this off-season was 20-year-old Lean (Leon) Bergmann out of Adler Mannheim of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). He signed a 3 year deal with the Sharks on May 28th worth 836,667 annually, per Capfriendly.
While his rights were owned by Alder Mannheim at the end of the season, the German born winger spent the entirety of last season playing for the Iserlohn Roosters. Bergmann suited up in 50 games for the club and tallied 20 goals (10th in the league) and recorded 29 total points, per eliteprospects.
