The team signed defenseman Christian Ehrhoff and goalie Dimitri Patzold on Sunday.
Ehrhoff, a fourth-round draft pick in 2001, is expected to contend for a roster spot this fall as the latest in a string of outstanding German prospects for San Jose. The 20-year-old scored 27 points for Krefeld of the German Elite League last season, and he played for Germany at the World Championships.
Patzold, also a fourth-round pick in 2001, is a native of Kazakhstan, the home of Sharks goalie Evgeni Nabokov. He was a backup in the top German league last season.
