The San Jose Sharks have signed former NHLer Akim Aliu to an American Hockey League tryout deal with the San Jose Barracuda, according to general manager Mike Grier. "We wanted to give him an opportunity to see what he can do," Grier said. The 30-year-old hasn't appeared in the NHL since skating five games with the Calgary Flames in the 2012-13 season and has just seven career NHL contests under his belt with two goals and three points alongside 26 penalty minutes in that time. He last played professional hockey in the 2019-20 season with Litvinov HC in Czechia. He currently sits as chair of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, a group of current and former NHLers fighting racism in hockey.--Brenton KempRead More News
