**** me! WOW

 

[Frosty415]

I'm excited... Sharks are making that final push before JT and Marleau are done

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I ****ing LOVE Joel Ward!!!!

DW for President!

 

[noexult]

Didn't see this coming...at all...

 

[themelkman]

My guess is he plays as our new grinder, taking the position from Scott

 

[Frosty415]

PRAISE DW!! HIS JOB IS SAFE NOW!

 

[Negatively Positive]

Sharks sign a 2nd UFA that's not a bottom pair/4th liner? What's going on?

 

[Led Zappa]

Ha ha... WoW!

 

[Gilligans Island]

He was at the top of my UFA fwd list but thought no way in hell

 

[Pavelski2112]

Where was this DW before?

[KirbyDots]

Love this! Hope he makes a trade for a righty d and we blow the doors off the competition! We are looking really deep now!

 

[Bowie22]

I ****ing LOVE this signing!

 

[KirbyDots]

3 year deal.

 

[Helistin]

Another quality UFA signed by the Sharks? Clearly DW doesn't know that he isn't allowed to spend near to the cap by Hasso or sign quality free agents. He should read Hfboards more often.

 

[KirbyDots]

It's funny, both Ward and Paul Martin were ufas I wanted back in the day. Great to have them both on the team!

 

[Gilligans Island]

Where was this DW before?

Seriously.

Maybe he and his capologist realized truly how bad other teams would be and that prices would come down. Who knows but I love it

 

[magic school bus]

Somebody check on Nem.

 

[DystopianTierney]

Duuuude! Wut!?

 

[Negatively Positive]

3 year deal.

He's 35 so was hoping for 2 but he doesn't have too much tread on his tires so I think it's okay.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

How I'm feeling right about now. Awesome signing.

 

[DG93]

This team is shaping up to be pretty damn good!

 

[Frosty415]

wonder how much cap space is left after this signing.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I wanted Ward on the Sharks before he signed with the Caps years ago. I'm smiling a little right now.
