Alex Stalock has signed a new two-year contract to remain with the San Jose Sharks. Financial terms of the contract were not released, but CSNBayArea.com reported the contract will pay Stalock $1.5 million in 2014-15 and $1.7 million in 2015-16.

Stalock would have become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

The 26-year-old goalie went 12-5-2 with a 1.87 goals-against average, .932 save percentage and two shutouts in 24 games as Antti Niemi's backup. Stalock also started Game 6 of the Sharks' Western Conference First Round series against the Los Angeles Kings, one of three Stanley Cup Playoff games he got into.

Last season marked the first time Stalock has spent the entire season in the NHL. A 2005 fourth-round pick (No. 112), he had played three games in two previous NHL stints with San Jose.

The Sharks also signed right wing Mike Brown to a two-year contract, keeping him from reaching unrestricted free agency. Financial terms were not released, but CSNBayArea.com reported Brown will receive $1.15 million in 2014-15 and $1.25 million in 2015-16.

Brown, 28, had five points in 48 games with the Sharks after being traded by the Edmonton Oilers in October 2013. He also had one goal and one assist in six playoff games.

Great news on the Stalock signing. He is the Sharks goalie of the future. Very impressed with him.

 

Brown I would have given a 1 year deal to, not more than 900k, but oh well. The Torres/Desjardins/Brown line was great in the playoffs before Torres injuries started showing badly. he could barely skate.

Other sharks fans are not happy about the Brown signing. Neither are most Shark reporters.
