With the Sharks official site reporting that Antti Niemi has signed a one year, $2MM contract with the San Jose Sharks, we thought we'd open up a thread to capture the madness that ensues.

It's likely that the Sharks will remain tight lipped about the rest of their plans for the season, even if they do announce the Niemi signing today. That doesn't mean you have to.

In the comments, please give your responses to the three questions we're posing now:

1) Are the Sharks better today than they were yesterday?

2) What happens to Thomas Greiss?

3) Is this the Sharks team that will start the season in Stockholm (i.e., no other free agent signings or trades)?

As always, we'll be bringing you coverage throughout the day here and on Twitter.

Remember how to breathe...

Go Sharks.
