Sharks Upset Brian Burke, Sign Niklas Hjalmarsson to Offer Sheet

While I was getting my beauty sleep this morning (since I need all that I can get), San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson did the unthinkable and signed Blackhawk RFA Niklas Hjalmarsson to an offer sheet, a four year deal worth $3.5M per year.
