SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks are reportedly signing forward Philipp Kurashev and defenseman John Klingberg to contracts.

Klurashev is coming to San Jose on a one-year, $1.2 million contract. PuckPedia was the first to report the deal.

Kurashev, drafted by Chicago in 2018, spent five seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks and had 130 points in 317 games. Last season, Kurashev had 14 points in 51 games.

Klingberg, 32, is a right-shot defenseman entering his 12th NHL season. He had four points in 11 regular-season games with the Edmonton Oilers, who advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for a second straight year.

Pierre LeBrun reported that Klingberg was going to San Jose.

The Sharks entered the day with tens of millions of dollars in available cap space to play with and several needs to try and address after finishing in last place in the NHL’s overall standings for a second straight year.

It was just a matter of who the Sharks could sign on Tuesday once unrestricted free agency began at 9 a.m. (PDT).

The Sharks, per PuckPedia, entered Tuesday with just over $44 million in cap space, with just 15 players set to be on the 23-man NHL roster next season. By the time the Sharks begin the regular season in October, their total cap hit has to rise from its present total of $51.4 million to the cap floor of $70.6 million.

The Sharks were not interested in signing players in their late 20s or early 30s to long-term contracts. But, ideally, they were hoping to add a goalie that could compete with Yaroslav Askarov for playing time, and bolster their defense corps, particularly on the right side.

The Sharks made two major signings on the first day of free agency last summer, bringing in winger Tyler Toffoli on a four-year, $24 million contract and center Alexander Wennberg on a two-year, $10 million deal.

The Sharks got another big piece of business done Tuesday, signing
