Nicholls Joins Sharks’ Staff

Bernie Nicholls accepted a job Wednesday with the San Jose Sharks. He just doesn’t know what he’ll be doing.

“I just have to figure out what my title is,” he said.

Nicholls, an 18-year veteran let go by the Sharks late last month, joins assistant coaches Paul Baxter and Bob Berry. By accepting the offer, Nicholls has decided not to try to play for another team.

Nicholls, 37, was a three-time All-Star, playing for the Kings, the Rangers, Edmonton, New Jersey, Chicago and San Jose.
