| C | 1 | Joe Thornton  ActiveNot that it comes as a surprise, but Joe Thornton wasn't among the San Jose Sharks' list of protected players. Thornton is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, so there was no expectation that the Sharks would protect him. That being said, Vegas does have a 72-hour window to talk to pending UFAs like Thornton. In the event that Vegas was able to come to terms with Thornton then that would count as the player they took with the Sharks. It would be a surprise if that happened, but that's just some food for thought. Thornton is currently recovering from a torn ACL/MCL and might be ready for the start of the 2017-18 campaign. He's engaged in contract talks with San Jose and it's believed that he's seeking a three-year deal. Jun 18 |
| 2 | Logan Couture ActiveLogan Couture still has to get some dental work done. "There's going to be some implants to get the teeth fixed," Couture said. "Hopefully get it done in the next few weeks, and then I'll head back to Canada." He revealed on Tuesday that he sustained some facial fractures in addition to damaged teeth when he was struck in the face by a puck on Mar. 25. Couture said that he is still having trouble eating and sleeping. Apr 25 |
| 3 | Chris Tierney ActiveChris Tierney scored a goal and registered an assist in a 3-1 win against Calgary on Saturday. Tierney has 11 goals and 23 points in 80 games this season. Daniel O'Regan netted his first career goal in his third NHL contest. Mikkel Boedker also found the back of the net for the Sharks and his goal proved to be the game-winner. Apr 9 |
| 4 | Micheal Haley ActiveMicheal Haley can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. According to an NHL source, there is mutual interest to get a deal done between the Sharks and Haley's camp. However, nothing is believed to be imminent. Haley had 12 points and 128 penalty minutes in 58 games this past season. May 16 |
| LW | 1 | Patrick Marleau ActivePatrick Marleau would like to re-sign with the San Jose Sharks. "Yeah, it would be nice. We’ll see if that’s an option," Marleau said. "A lot of time here before this decision needs to be made." He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's spent his entire 1,493-game career with San Jose, but there's a good chance that the Sharks will be looking elsewhere this summer. Among other things, they will be looking to re-sign Martin Jones and Marc-Edouard Vlasic, who each have one season left on their contracts, but will probably require big raises that start in 2018-19. Apr 25 |
| 2 | Tomas Hertl ActiveTomas Hertl was playing with a broken foot during the postseason. Hertl sustained the injury on April 4. He still managed to average 19:18 minutes of play in the first round series and had two assists in six games. Apr 24 |
| 3 | Mikkel Boedker ActiveMikkel Boedker's first season with San Jose proved to be a disappointment. The Sharks signed Boedker to a four-year, $16 million contract and that deal is looking very bad at the moment. Boedker went from recording 51 points between Arizona and Colorado in 2015-16 to just 10 goals and 26 points in 81 contests with San Jose this season. To make matters worse, Boedker was a healthy scratch three times in the first round. "He has the things we’re looking for: his career scoring average, his speed, [penalty killing] ability," Sharks GM Doug Wilson said. "Did he meet the expectations that he had for himself [or] that we had for him? No. Can we get that out of him? Pete [DeBoer] believes we can." We'll see if he can bounce back next season. Given his contract, San Jose has little choice but to hope that he does. Apr 27 |
| 4 | Melker Karlsson ActiveMelker Karlsson has inked a three-year deal with the San Jose Sharks. Karlsson will reportedly make $6 million over the length of that contract, per Pierre LeBrun. That's up from the two-year, $3.3 million deal that he completed. "Melker plays an up-tempo, high-energy game and brings flexibility to our lineup wherever he plays," said Sharks GM Doug Wilson. "His tenacious style of play fits our team perfectly, and we feel confident using him in many different situations. He kills penalties, can play with high-end players and brings an honest effort night in and night out. We're excited he has made this commitment to the organization." Karlsson had 11 goals and 22 points in 67 games this season. May 12 |
| RW | 1 | Joe Pavelski ActiveJoe Pavelski scored the game winning goal at the 15 second-mark of the first period, but the Sharks would not stop there and routed the Oilers 7-0 Tuesday night. Pavelski scored again at 16:46 in the second and he had an assist on Logan Couture’s first period goal. Pavelski’s two goals and one assist was the best performance on the Sharks lineup, but five other Sharks scored multiple points. Brent Burns had three assists, Couture had two goals, while Patrick Marleau and David Schlemko had one goal and an assist each. Joel Ward rounded out the list with a pair of assists. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Joel Ward ActiveJoel Ward has undergone shoulder surgery. Ward was dealing with a minor shoulder injury during the 2017-18 campaign. He had 10 goals and 28 points in 78 contests this season. He should be fine for the start of the 2017-18 campaign. May 19 |
| 3 | Joonas Donskoi ActiveJoonas Donskoi has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the San Jose Sharks. San Jose didn't release the financial terms of the deal, but he'll come with a $1.9 million annual cap hit, according to Pierre LeBrun. "Joonas plays a solid two-way game, combining his skill and creativity with an aggressive, hard-working effort in all three zones," said Sharks GM Doug Wilson. "He plays the game the way we want to play as a team, and we feel he has only scratched the surface of his abilities. He battled through multiple injuries last season and we look forward to having him healthy at training camp this season." Donskoi had six goals and 17 points in 61 games this season. He would have been a restricted free agent this summer after completing his entry level contract. May 12 |
| 4 | Jannik Hansen ActiveJannik Hansen played a part on both San Jose goals in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton on Thursday. Hansen opened the scoring for both teams then picked up the secondary assist on Joe Pavelski's marker in the third period. Hansen has back-to-back games with the same contribution of two points. He has five points in 10 games as a member of the Sharks. Mar 31 |
| 5 | Barclay Goodrow ActiveBarclay Goodrow scored the game winner as the San Jose Barricudas moved into the Conference Finals with a 2-0 win over San Diego in AHL action. The Sharks minor league affiliate got a shutout from Troy Grosenick while Adam Helewka scored the other San Jose goal. Goodrow was up and down from the farm club this season and Saturday's goal was the fourth of the playoffs. Look for Goodrow to have a similar role next season with the Sharks organization. May 14 |
| 6 | Daniel O'Regan ActiveDaniel O'Regan scored his first NHL goal on Saturday. It was a power play effort as the Sharks rested plenty of regulars in their season finale so players like O'Regan saw some power play time. O'Regan was selected in the fifth round of the 2012 Draft and has been a scorer in his first year in the AHL with 21 goals and 54 points in 59 games. Apr 9 |
| D | 1 | Brent Burns ActiveBrent Burns has won the James Norris Memorial Trophy. Burns was named the best defenseman of the 2016-17 campaign over fellow finalists Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman. This is the first time that Burns has claimed this honor and the first time that a San Jose Sharks player has won the award. He led all blueliners with 29 goals and 76 points in 82 contests while averaging 24:51 minutes per contest. Burns also had a plus-19 rating and blocked 142 shots. It's worth noting that the voting for the Norris Trophy was close with Burns getting 1,437 points to Karlsson's 1,292. Jun 21 |
| 2 | Marc-Edouard Vlasic ActiveMarc-Edouard Vlasic's agent said that contract extension talks have been going well with the San Jose Sharks. Vlasic has one season left on his five-year, $21.25 million deal. The 30-year-old defenseman had 28 points in 75 contests last season while averaging 21:14 minutes per game. The two sides are talking about a long-term deal and an agreement could be announced in early July if all goes well. Jun 8 |
| 3 | Paul Martin ActivePaul Martin registered a pair of assists in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Dallas Stars. Martin helped set up goals by Joe Pavelski in the first period and Joel Ward in the second frame. The veteran has accumulated four points in his last three games and he has four goals and 20 assists in 67 contests this season. Mar 13 |
| 4 | Justin Braun ActiveSan Jose Sharks beat reporter Kevin Kurz believes defenseman Justin Braun could be traded this summer. The Sharks have committed $27 million to their top seven defensemen next season. On top of that, they'll have to give Marc-Edouard Vlasic a raise, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2017-18 season. Braun doesn't provide much in the way of offense, but he's a reliable defender in his own end. The 30-year-old had four goals and nine assists while averaging 20:04 of ice time in 81 games. Braun has three years remaining on his contract at a cap hit of $3.8 million. The Sharks could certainly use another offensive weapon or two up front. Jun 3 |
| 5 | Brenden Dillon ActiveBrenden Dillon has no goals and five assists in 49 games this season. When Dillon broke into the NHL with Dallas he was playing a big role, but that's declined in recent years. In 2013-14 for example, he had 17 points in 80 games while averaging 21:06 minutes, but so far this season he's logging just 16:11 minutes per contest. He's still a decent source of penalty minutes (35) and hits (114) though. Jan 28 |
| 6 | Dylan DeMelo ActiveDylan DeMelo will be on the Sharks' blue line on Sunday against the Wild. Through 59 career NHL games, including 14 games this season, he's picked up eight points along with 49 blocks and 57 hits. Mar 5 |
| 7 | Tim Heed ActiveTim Heed has signed a two-year/two-way contract with the San Jose Sharks. Heed was eligible to become an RFA on July 1. The 26-year-old defenseman had 56 points with the Barracuda of the AHL but really is a depth NHLer at best at this time. Jun 18 |
| G | 1 | Martin Jones ActiveContract talks between Martin Jones and the San Jose Sharks are reportedly going well. TSN's Pierre LeBrun has reported that all signs point to an extension coming in early July. Jones has one more season remaining on his current contract. Jun 7 |
| 2 | Aaron Dell ActiveAaron Dell stopped 20 of 21 shots in a 3-1 win against Calgary Saturday night. Dell never faced more than nine shots in a single period. This was his first win since March 12 and brought his record to 11-6-1. Apr 9 |
