The San Jose Sharks have bolstered their minor league depth.
On Thursday, the Sharks announced a two-year, two-way deals for winger Alex Barre-Boulet and one year for winger Tye Felhaber, winger Brett Leason, and goalie Kyle Keyser.
On Wednesday, they also added Eric Comrie on a two-year, one-way deal to be, most likely, the organization’s third goalie. The 30-year-old has a $1.15 million AAV.
Comrie looking forward to camp goaltending battle vs. Askarov/Nedeljkovic.
But no issue being w/ Barracuda if that’s where he ends up.
Says he’s known Ryan Miller since he was a kid, Miller spent summers in LA & 10-year-old Comrie would skate w/ him. Miller a SJ selling point

Barre-Boulet has 72 NHL games and 428 AHL games of experience since turning pro in 2018-19. Last season with the Colorado Eagles, the 29-year-old had 26 goals and 70 points in 70 games. He added five goals and 12 assists in 17 playoff games.
Leason and Felhaber are both 27 and will bring notable professional experience to the San Jose Barracuda forward corps. Keyser had a strong 15-game showing with the Eagles last season, posting a .922 Save %. He and Comrie could share the crease with prospect Matt Davis next season.
