San Jose Sharks right wing Filip Zadina
The San Jose Sharks announced that they signed forward Justin Bailey to an NHL contract and placed forward Filip Zadina on the injured reserve. Bailey has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Sharks that comes with an NHL salary of $775K and a salary of $300K at the AHL level.
Bailey had a professional try-out with the Sharks this season which he was able to convert into an AHL contract with their affiliate the San Jose Barracuda. The 28-year-old dressed in 16 games in the AHL posting six goals and five assists which was good enough to lead the team in scoring. After signing his contract, Bailey was quickly recalled by the Sharks to presumably replace the injured Filip Zadina. Bailey has five goals and four assists in 82 NHL games with three different NHL teams.
The Sharks also announced today that Zadina has been placed on the IR, the former sixth-overall pick left the Sharks game on Friday night against the Montreal Canadiens and did not return. He reportedly is dealing with an upper-body injury and did not dress for San Jose’s game against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Zadina signed a one-year deal with the Sharks in the offseason in the hopes of igniting his NHL career after struggling through five seasons with the Detroit Red Wings. Thus far with San Jose, Zadina has been unable to find any traction as he has just three goals and two assists in 20 games while posting a -19.
