Sharks feast on Free-agent market
7/9/1991 14.05 PST

It’s been a busy last few days in San Jose for Coach/GM Fyvie. The NHL’s newest franchise added several new faces to their growing roster.

22 year old centre Mike Sullivan from Marshfield Mass, described as a defensive specialist, was signed July 6th. Defensemen Jon Klemm, and wingers Jeff Odgers and Lonnie Loach signed on the dotted line July 7th. The three players are to be introduced later today to the local press.

Fyvie was all smiles. “It’s an exciting day for these four young men. They get to join the Sharks on the ground floor.”

It is expected that all three will get a chance to crack to roster, but realistically they could all find themselves down in Kansas City to start the year.

Coach/GM Fyvie explained “We need depth. And these four gentlemen provide just that. They’ll be a few more of these (press conferences) this summer as we add more bodies to the mix.”

21 year old Jon Klemm is from Cranbrook BC and provides a steady presence on the right side of the defensive zone. Jeff Odgers is 22 years old and can be safely described as an enforcer. He’s from Spy Hill Saskatchewan. Lonnie Loach is from Temiskaming Shores Ontario. He’s 23 years old and is more of an offensive sparkplug.

Off season news and notes:

trade rumours have begun to percolate around the Cow Palace with front office staff from the Montreal Canadiens being sighted. Sources close to the Sharks management team were quiet but did confirm a trade has been discussed with the Canadiens.

35 year old San Jose centre Peter Stastny (pictured) has been sighted in his hometown training with new teammate, 25 year old winger David Volek this summer. Both players grew up in Czechoslovakia 10 years apart and are keen to familiarise themselves with each other. It has been reported that GM Fyvie acquired the two players with the idea that they would be line-mates.
