| 11th June, 2008 - 8:54 pm |  San Jose Mercury News - The Sharks will introduce Detroit Red Wings' Assistant Coach Todd McLellan as their next coach at a Thursday morning news conference.
The Sharks issued a front office advisory setting up the 11 a.m. media gathering but did not initially identify General Manager Doug Wilson's choice. Confirmed reports in Detroit, however, said McLellan will get a three-year contract as Ron Wilson's successor, and later the Sharks acknowledged it was McLellan.
"It's a very good feeling," McLellan said in a statement released by the team. "From the first moment Doug called to the moment he offered the job, I felt comfortable. I think the Sharks have done a tremendous job. You don't get that close to 50 wins for a number of years in a row without a lot of talent. It's a matter of getting over the hump. There are some real parallels between the Wings and the Sharks." [READ] |
