San Jose Sharks

The San Jose Sharks are a professional ice hockey team based in San Jose, California. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Sharks, along with the Charlotte Hornets of the NBA, are often credited with popularizing teal as a color for American sports teams.

Shark's 2006 Offseason
During the 2006 offseason, the San Jose Sharks made significant changes in order to bolster their defense and team grit. The Sharks promptly signed Mike Grier from the Buffalo Sabres and former Shark Curtis Brown from the Chicago Blackhawks, two forwards noted for their defense prowess on both sides of the ice. After signing the two veterans, Doug Wilson traded underachieving winger Nils Ekman to the Pittsburgh Penguins and then traded their top offensive defenseman Tom Preissing to the Ottawa Senators for gritty centerman Mark Bell of the Chicago Blackhawks in a 3 way trade involving Martin Havlat going to the Blackhawks. In August, to round off their flurry of trades, the Sharks signed veterans Mathieu Biron and Patrick Traverse. The Sharks also signed many players such as Graham Mink and Scott Ferguson for their AHL affiliate. On October 2nd, 2006, the Sharks acquired Vladimir Malakhov and a first-round conditional draft pick in exchange for Jim Fahey and Alexander Korolyuk, who is playing in Russia.
