Hansen is expected to join the Sharks on Wednesday for practice, finally ending his ongoing visa issue, Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

It has been more than a week since the Sharks acquired the Danish forward from the Canucks, but his introduction to his new team has been delayed as he sorted out immigration. After Wednesday's practice we'll get a much better idea of where Hansen will slot into the San Jose lineup. There has been speculation he'd join the top line with Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton, which would obviously be great news for his fantasy owners.
