Blake signs with Sharks


Written by:

SAN JOSE, California, July 3, 2008 (AFP) - The San Jose Sharks signed veteran defenceman Rob Blake to a one-year contract on Thursday.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but Canadian broadcaster TSN reported Blake, 38, will receive five million dollars in 2008-09.

In 71 games last season with the Los Angeles Kings, Blake scored nine goals and 31 points -- his worst totals since the 1996-97 season also with the Kings.

The addition of Blake helps alleviate some of the loss of all-star Brian Campbell, who signed an eight-year, 56.8 million dollar deal with the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.
