SAN JOSE - San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has signed unrestricted free agent defenseman David Schlemko (SHLEM-ko) to a four-year contract.
"David is a solid puck-moving defenseman with good speed who can play the game at both ends," said Wilson. "He is coming off of a very productive season in New Jersey and we think he will fit well with our group."
Schlemko, 29, posted career-highs in goals (6), assists (13), points (19), power-play points (12), game-winning goals (3) and shots on goal (104) in a career-best 67 games played with New Jersey last season.
