"Timo had an impressive camp. He showed everyone why we selected him where we did," coach Peter DeBoer said in a statement. "He has a nice blend of power, speed and skill and he has a really bright future."
Forward Frazer McLaren has reportedly been placed on waivers, likely for the purpose of reassignment to the Barracuda.
The Sharks’ roster now stands at 26 players, including 18 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders. Notable players still remaining include former first round picks Nikolay Goldobin and Mirco Mueller, 23-year-old free agent forward Joonas Donskoi, and defenseman Dylan DeMelo.
