Antero Niittymaki has cleared waivers and so he remains with the San Jose Sharks. "I know they've been working hard to find a place for me to play," Niittymaki said. "It's probably not as easy as it sounds because I've been out with the (hip) surgery and I've only played games in the minors." The Sharks have in fact been seeking a deal for Niittymaki, but they haven't had any luck yet.
