Sharks Add Depth Up Front, Sign Former Flames Forward

After losing tough guy Micheal Haley as a free agent to Florida, the Sharks inked physical forward Brandon Bollig to a one-year, two-way contract, the team announced on Tuesday.

The deal is worth $650,000 at the NHL level a source told NBC Sports California.

"Bollig is a competitive player who will add a tough edge to the Sharks," general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. "He brings with him a lot of playoff experience and a Stanley Cup Championship. His grit and physicality will be a great addition to our team."

The 30-year-old St. Charles, Missouri native posted 22 points (11g, 11a) and 136 penalty minutes in 60 games with the AHL's Stockton Heat last season. He last appeared in the NHL in 2015-16 with Calgary, skating in 54 games with four points (2g, 2a) and 103 penalty minutes.

In 241 career NHL games with the Blackhawks and Flames, Bollig has 46 points (24g, 22a) and 578 penalty minutes, and was a part of Chicago's 2013 Stanley Cup championship. He is listed at six-foot-three, 225 pounds.

Haley signed a one-year contract with Florida on July 1 after spending parts of three seasons with the Sharks. Last season, the 31-year-old posted 12 points (2g, 10a) and 128 penalty minutes in 58 games. His 128 penalty minutes was fourth in the NHL.
