SAN JOSE, Calif. -- San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and
General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has
re-signed Group VI restricted free agent right wing Tom Cavanagh,
who played at Harvard, to a one-year contract. In keeping with
club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
In 2007-08, Cavanagh, 26, played 77 games with the Worcester
Sharks, the top development American Hockey League affiliate of the
San Jose Sharks, tallying 55 points (19-36=55), 55 penalty minutes,
and a -4 rating. He finished tied for second on the team with 55
points and also placed second in assists with 36. He made his
National Hockey League debut on April 3 against Los Angeles and
posted an assist for his first NHL point on his first NHL shift
with San Jose.
"Tom was a very consistent player with Worcester last season," said
Wilson. "His play, especially towards the end of the season, was
deserving of a reward and he was able to contribute in the game he
played in the NHL."
In 2006-07, Cavanagh, was fourth on Worcester with 44 points, with
12 goals and 32 assists, all of which were career highs at the
time.
The six-foot, 200-pound right wing was selected by San Jose in the
sixth round (182nd overall) of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.
