Sharks center and restricted free agent Chris Tierney has signed a one-year contract extension with the club.
According to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports the deal is worth $735,000, which was Tierney’s qualifying offer. The 23-year-old center did not have arbitration rights, so his bargaining power was limited.
On its face the deal seems like a good one for the Sharks, who locked up their fourth line center that posted 23 points (11g, 12a) in 80 games last season to a cheap salary. In three seasons, all with San Jose, Tierney has 64 points (24g, 40a) in 202 games.
