June 11, 2025
Makiniemi (abdomen) signed a one-year contract with TPS of Finland's Liiga on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Makiniemi has been in North America since the tail end of the 2020-21 campaign, but he saw just two games of NHL action with the Sharks in 2022-23. He underwent abdominal surgery in November while with AHL Lehigh Valley. Makiniemi would have been a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this summer, but he'll head home to Finland rather than settle for what would have likely been a two-way deal at best with an NHL club.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing interest from Flyers
GFree Agent
August 20, 2024
Makiniemi is being targeted as a free-agent signing by Philadelphia, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Makiniemi spent last season primarily with AHL San Jose for which he went 8-8-0 with a 3.14 GAA and a .900 save percentage. The 25-year-old backstop has just two games of NHL experience, both with the Sharks in 2022-23, and would likely step into a role primarily with AHL Lehigh Valley -- though he could find himself sitting third on the organizational depth chart.
