The San Jose Sharks re-signed restricted free-agent forward Devin Setoguchi to a one-year deal, $1.8-million US contract, general manager Doug Wilson announced Saturday.

Setoguchi, 23, finished tied for fourth on the team with 20 goals, including a career-high four game-winning tallies. He also recorded 36 points in 70 games.

Setoguchi was a reliable player in the post-season, helping the Sharks to the Western Conference final by scoring five goals and four assists.

The Sharks were beaten by the eventual Stanley Cup champs, the Chicago Blackhawks.

"We're happy to have Devin under contract for next season," said Wilson. "He is an important part of our team and we are looking forward to his on-going growth as a player. We have very high expectations for him."

The six-foot, 200-pound right-winger was selected by San Jose in the first round (8th overall) of the 2005 NHL draft.
