Sharks to open season with Styles

You can stop shopping for Jeremy Roenick's retirement gift. The Sharks just announced they signed the former All-Star to a one-year, $500K contract. I assume he'll be filling the hole left by Bill Guerin, aging rent-a-vet who'll disappear in the playoffs.

"Styles", as he affectionately refers to himself, sits five goals shy of 500 for his career. If San Jose can get that many out of him without Roenick becoming a total distraction, I'll hand them the Cup right now.

Somehow I think I'm still safe in predicting the Ducks will repeat.
