Continuing with the defensemen theme, the San Jose Sharks picked up Nate Misskey with the 143rd overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Like Colton Roberts, the other defenseman in the fifth round by the Sharks, Misskey is a WHL defenseman. Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 210 lbs.

With two top-four defensive prospects added in the first two rounds of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the San Jose Sharks went about rounding out the prospect pool in the latter half of Day 2. The team used its fifth selection, 131st overall, to pick Colton Roberts from the Vancouver Giants of the WHL. Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 204 lbs. Age/DOB: 18, June 8, 2006 Shoots: Right Vancouver Giants… Source ..read more

There were a lot of questions about whether the San Jose Sharks would draft a goaltender during the 2024 NHL Draft, considering that that aspect of the prospect pool is woefully shallow. Turns out, the team drafted not one, but two goaltenders in Las Vegas. Christian Kirsch was the first goaltender drafted by the Sharks and post-draft, San Jose Sharks Director of Amateur Scouting Chris Morehouse… Source ..read more

After doing some damage in the first and second rounds, the San Jose Sharks had to wait a while before coming around to pick 85 in round three. Apparently, the wait was a little too long because before the pick arrived, San Jose traded that pick and a 2025 sixth-round pick to the New Jersey Devils to move up to pick 82. That’s when the team drafted Carson Wetsch. What likely gave Wetsch the… Source ..read more

The San Jose Sharks have signed superstar prospect Macklin Celebrini to a standard entry-level contract. Per PuckPedia, the deal is worth $2.925 million over 3 years, with an average annual value of $925,000. There’s also $3.5 million per year in performance bonuses. The move means that Celebrini, the first overall pick in the 2024 draft, will leave Boston University to go professional in the 2024… Source ..read more

The San Jose Sharks have locked down two of the team’s new restricted free agents today. The team signed forwards Ty Dellandrea and Carl Grundstrom to two-year deals. Both players are on one-way contracts, which confirms the idea that they will factor into the Shark’s starting lineup next season or at the very least, get preference over some of the younger players.

The San Jose Sharks have added another center to its burgeoning group of forwards. The team signed Alex Wennberg to a two-year, $5 million AAV contract today. It’s a bit of an overpay for the 29-year-old (he’ll be 30 in September) center who had 30 points in 79 games last season, split between the Seattle Kraken and the New York Rangers. Still, Wennberg brings that veteran presence that… Source ..read more

The San Jose Sharks sent shockwaves through their fanbase today with perhaps their biggest non-retention free agent signing in years, signing UFA Tyler Toffoli to a 4 year contract with an average annual value of $6M according to The Athletic’s Chris Johnston. Toffoli is an exceptionally effective forward, capable of driving play and generating tons of offense without being much of a… Source ..read more

No rest for the weary, the San Jose Sharks continued with business on Sunday, taking care of the pending restricted free agents before the start of free agency. The team locked down Luke Kunin and Justin Bailey for another season and issued qualifying offers to the players management wants to see back in teal next season. As expected, the Sharks signed Kunin for one more season. Source ..read more

The San Jose Sharks seem to have the forward group lined up aside from a veteran forward add and possibly center insurance for Logan Couture. We assume that younger players like Will Smith and (fingers crossed) Macklin Celebrini will be asked to take a larger role in the offense this season. General Manager Mike Grier and the rest of his staff will have to focus on defense as the free agency… Source ..read more
