Left wing Jeff Friesen - the Sharks' first-round draft pick in 1994 and a popular presence in San Jose for seven seasons - will be invited to training camp as a tryout. Friesen, who has played on four NHL teams since the Sharks traded him to Anaheim in 2001, did not make an NHL roster last season. "He has a very good history here,'' general manager Doug Wilson said, "and we look forward to him coming and being given the opportunity to play."

Well, at least it's not a certain Swede we've been hearing so much about.

Come on now !!! I'm just trying to be "one of the guys" !!! Sorry to admit I've been around long enough to see Eddie Giacomin go from the RI Reds to the Rangers to the Hall Of Fame . Before him the goalie was "Red Light" Bennett !!!

Seabird - I have had two surgeries in the L3-4-5 area. Had a discectomy and spinal stenosis surgery also. Just for good measure I am the recipient of two artificial knees and am having major shoulder surgery in the next month. Don't fret though i can still type left-handed !!! (LOL)

I am sure he is exactly what they need for a real run...uh..no but I guess this is big news??

August 28, 2008  02:34 PM ET

Friesen is just a bad player with a bad moustache.

August 28, 2008  04:36 PM ET

I thought Freisen was dead and buried already.

"He has a very good history here,'' general manager Doug Wilson said

"And ... Jeff Friesen is history" I says

August 28, 2008  05:25 PM ET

Boy, I must be getting old too! I remember when Freisen was on the Canadian Juniors. Him, Todd Harvey, Paul Karyia etc... Now THAT was a team.

I never was sold on Paul Karyia. Great wheels. Lot's ot talent but never lived up to the billing. Too selfish and too soft. More than anything, he was the product of media hype.

August 28, 2008  07:30 PM ET

Kariya and Selanne were one of the best duo's in the NHL for a time. Watching them play was a thing of symbiotic beauty.
