Confirmed with Link: Signing: Stephen Harper; Danny Federico

[Sharks7]

I can imagine what the next meeting would look like in camp regarding Harper if he doesn't make it:

Scouts "Next up, Stephen Harper. What qualifications does he have? He wants to send winter jackets to San Jose? Like that's going to make them play well. Imagine if we put him in charge of making plays for our top players"

Harper: "And the goals will score themselves"

Scouts: "The goals will score themselves? Yeah, that's what the Edmonton Oilers thought, and look at how that turned out. That's his inexperience showing. After all, playing for the San Jose Sharks is not an entry level job. We're not saying no forever, but not now. Stephen Harper... he's just not ready"

Now, let's see who actually gets the reference

noooooooooooooooooooooo ... you made me think aboot that annoying commercial that makes 0 sense!

I'm realizing now the Sharks have a surprsingly large number of Canadian fans, at least on HFboards. I assume you guys are making a bunch of politics jokes, right?

(At least Harper I've heard of, that's good for an American!)

Joey Ratelle on roster now. Was mentioned months ago as TO player.

What's not to love about the Sharks?

Jokes aside, I wonder why Harper never got drafted. He has a good draft pedigree (12 OV in the OHL Bantam draft), solid numbers, size and pretty unique versatility being able to play D C and LW.
