| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Joe Thornton  ActiveJoe Thornton isn't thinking about leaving the San Jose Sharks. He has a no-movement clause in his contract and he isn't considering going somewhere else. "I've got one more year left," Thornton said. "I haven't thought about that at all, to be honest." He finally got to play in his first Stanley Cup Final and the soon-to-be 37-year-old veteran will play in the World Cup for Canada in September. Jun 13 |
| 2 | Logan Couture ActiveLogan Couture has been added to Team Canada's roster for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey. Couture will take injured Stars forward Jamie Benn's place on the roster. The Sharks forward suffered a broken fibula in October and came back to score 15 goals and 36 points in 52 games last season. He caught fire in the playoffs, as he added 10 goals and 30 points in all 24 of San Jose's games. Aug 23 |
| 3 | Patrick Marleau ActivePatrick Marleau may start on the third line in 2016-17. The Sharks have some decisions to make at training camp. If Timo Meier makes the team then he could end up playing on the top line and Mikkel Boedker may skate alongside Logan Couture. That could leave Marleau at center or left wing on the third unit. Marleau, who has seen his play decline in the last two years, can become an unrestricted free agent next summer. It's unclear what his future with the Sharks will be, but playing for a new deal could motivate him. Aug 1 |
| 4 | Chris Tierney ActiveChris Tierney found the back of the net in a 6-3 win against St. Louis on Monday. Tierney has five goals and six points in 17 postseason games. During the regular season he recorded seven markers and 20 points in 79 contests. May 24 |
| LW | 1 | Tomas Hertl ActiveTomas Hertl (knee) was able to fully participate in the first day of training camp. Hertl's knee prevented him from representing the Czech Republic in the World Cup, but it sounds like it's a non-issue now. "I feel really good and I’m ready for the season," Hertl said. "Nothing the past two or three weeks [bothers] me. I can turn, I can hit. I can do whatever. I think it’s ready. I have [no] problem lately." He had 21 goals and 46 points in 81 contests in 2015-16. Sep 23 |
| 2 | Mikkel Boedker ActiveMikkel Boedker will draw into the lineup on Tuesday in Game 1 of the World Cup of Hockey final. He is getting a chance to play after Marian Gaborik went down with a foot injury. The Danish winger hasn't played in any of Team Europe's games since the tournament officially began. Sep 27 |
| 3 | Matthew Nieto ActiveMatthew Nieto has inked a one-year, $735,000 contract with the San Jose Sharks, Matthew Nieto had eight goals and 17 points in 67 regular season games with the Sharks in 2015-16. He added another goal and two assists in 16 playoff contests. Jul 17 |
| 4 | Melker Karlsson ActiveMelker Karlsson has been very impressive in the Stanley Cup Final for the Sharks. Karlsson had been seeing bottom-six duty this season but with the injury to Tomas Hertl, he has been placed on the top two lines for the last three games. Karlsson has not disappointed as he has scored twice and added an assist in the last two games. "It's confidence," coach Peter DeBoer said. "Melker has always brought a high IQ to the game, a high compete level. Plays both ends of the rink. He's honest. He's done that every game he's played this year for us. I don't think any of that has changed. [He’s] just feeling confident in creating offense." Game 6 goes Sunday with the Sharks having their backs against the wall trailing three games to two. Jun 12 |
| RW | 1 | Joe Pavelski ActiveJoe Pavelski took part in Tuesday's morning skate after returning from the World Cup of Hockey. He enjoyed the experience despite Team USA's disappointing showing. However, San Jose's Stanley Cup Final loss to Pittsburgh still lingers on his mind. "I don't know if you ever get over it," he said. "It still is with you. But, you try to learn from it. ... It's a new season. You definitely owe it to your teammates to be ready, owe it to the new guys that came in to be as good as you were the previous year and try to get better." Pavelski is expected to be eased back after a short summer to prepare for the tournament. Sep 27 |
| 2 | Joel Ward ActiveJoel Ward scored another big goal Saturday as his third period marker tied the game at two. The goal was Ward's seventh of the post-season and it sent the game into overtime where Joonas Donskoi popped the game-winner to give the Sharks their first ever win in Stanley Cup Final play. Ward has been terrific in the playoffs and his off-season signing by the Sharks has paid dividends throughout the regular season and into the playoffs. He is a late-round pick at best next season in deeper pools. Jun 5 |
| 3 | Joonas Donskoi ActiveJoonas Donskoi is expected to begin training camp on a line with Logan Couture. He generated 11 goals and 36 points in 76 games last season and could be a 50-point performer in 2016-17. Donskoi will face higher expectations this campaign and he is playing for a new contract as well. Sep 5 |
| 4 | Marcus Sorensen ActiveMarcus Sorensen has been quite impressive at training camp thus far. The six year Swedish pro is looking to crack the San Jose lineup and with continued performances like this past week, it will be hard for the Sharks to keep him off the roster. "He’s impressive," coach Pete DeBoer said. "He’s got a lot of speed, and he backs people off. He looks good. We’ve got six exhibition games and this is just the start, but there’s a lot of guys that look good." Sorensen had 15 goals and 34 points last season and has been a force with Tommy Wingels and Chris Tierney. Sep 26 |
| 5 | Tommy Wingels ActiveTommy Wingels found the back of the net in San Jose's 3-2 overtime win against Vancouver on Tuesday. Wingels was playing on a line with Chris Tierney and Nikolay Goldobin. It one of the first steps in Wingels' comeback attempt after he was limited to seven goals and 18 points in 68 games last season. "It could have been a lot better, and it starts with me and not producing and playing the way I want to play," Wingels said. "But it’s a new year, and with a new year comes a new opportunity to show that you can be better." Sep 28 |
| 6 | Micheal Haley ActiveThe San Jose Sharks have re-signed Micheal Haley to a one-year contract. The belligerent Haley found the back of the net once last season in 16 games and had 48 penalty minutes. He also saw time in the minors with the San Jose Barracudas where he managed 12 goals, 23 points and 52 penalty minutes in 41 games. He has no real value in the NHL as far as fantasy is concern as he plays so infrequently. Jul 2 |
| 7 | Timo Meier  SidelinedTimo Meier is still sidelined with strep throat. Meier has missed four straight days of training camp now and he won't participate in Friday's preseason game. He's still a possibility for Sunday's exhibition contest though. Sharks coach Pete DeBoer felt it was too early to say that Meier's chances of making the team were being hurt by his absence. "If he’s back skating (Thursday) and he ends up playing some games here, I’m not worried about that," DeBoer said. "If we get to the middle or the end of next week and he’s still not participating, then you might start thinking about those things." Sep 29 |
| D | 1 | Brent Burns ActiveBrent Burns and the Sharks aren't close to an extension yet, according to TSN and ESPN hockey insider Pierre LeBrun. Burns can become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2016-17 season and he will probably mull over his options before making a decision. The Sharks expressed their interest in keeping him in the fold early in the off-season and there have been some talks, but nothing is believed to be imminent. Sep 28 |
| 2 | Marc-Edouard Vlasic ActiveMarc-Edouard Vlasic logged 27:54 of ice time in Game 5 Thursday versus Pittsburgh. He played over nine minutes in the third period. Vlasic didn't come off the ice when there was 6:20 left in the third until Joe Pavelski sealed the win with an empty netter with 1:20 remaining. He finished the game with a plus-2 rating in San Jose's 4-2 victory. Jun 10 |
| 3 | Paul Martin ActiveSan Jose defenseman Paul Martin thinks the Sharks can win the Cup despite being down three games to two. Martin left the Penguins as a free agent during the off-season and signed with the Sharks. It's good to let them know we're still here," Martin said of the Penguins. "We played them pretty well at SAP. I've been over there when they've lost 3-1 leads and lost series." Martin was a part of a couple of 3-1 leads with the Penguins so he does know what he is talking about. Martin has five assists in 23 games this post-season but has yet to pick up a point in the Cup Final. Jun 11 |
| 4 | Justin Braun ActiveJustin Braun earned an assist on Thursday in a 4-2 win against Pittsburgh. Braun logged 25:01 of ice time in the match, mostly against Sidney Crosby's line, alongside Marc-Edouard Vlasic. His shot from the point was deflected in front by Logan Couture. Braun has seven points in the postseason, including two goals and one helper in the Stanley Cup Final. Jun 10 |
| 5 | Brenden Dillon ActiveBrenden Dillon is expected to play on a pairing with David Schlemko this season. After the Sharks acquired Roman Polak from the Maple Leafs last season, he and Dillon formed a physical pairing for the Sharks. Now, with Polak gone, it sounds like Dillon and Schlemko will have an opportunity to play together. The Sharks signed Schlemko this summer after he played the last season in New Jersey. Expect this to be a solid defensive pairing, but neither player will provide much in terms of standard fantasy value. Sep 4 |
| 6 | Dylan DeMelo ActiveThe San Jose Sharks have inked a two-year contract with Dylan DeMelo. DeMelo's deal is reportedly two-ways in 2016-17, but turns into a one-way contract for the 2017-18 campaign. He had two goals and four points in 45 contests last season. Jul 13 |
| 7 | David Schlemko ActiveDavid Schlemko was paired up with Brenden Dillon during Friday's practice. These early arrangements have to be taken with a grain of salt, but it's entirely feasible that Schlemko and Dillon will begin the season together on the Sharks' third pairing. Schlemko inked a four-year, $8.4 million deal with San Jose over the summer. Sep 24 |
| G | 1 | Martin Jones ActiveMartin Jones will be expected to establish himself as a stud number one goalie this season. He performed very well during his first season with the Sharks, but still has to prove that he can do it on a consistent basis. Jones will probably look to improve on his .909 save percentage on home ice from last year. He was much better on the road with a .925 save percentage. Sep 7 |
| 2 | Mantas Armalis ActiveMantas Armalis gave up one goal with teammate Troy Grosenick letting one other slip past in Tuesday night’s 3-2 victory for the San Jose Sharks over the Vancouver Canucks. Armalis comes to the Sharks from Sweden where he had a 0.500 record for the Stockholm Djurgardens club in 2015/2016. He began his career with them as part of the under-16 squad in 2007/2008. Grosenick played twice for the Sharks last year, scoring one win and one loss with a save percentage of 0.948. Sep 28 |
| 3 | Aaron Dell ActiveIt looks like Aaron Dell has the inside edge on the rest of the field for the backup job in San Jose. Dell saw some time on the Sharks bench last season and was returned to the Barracuda of the AHL when they picked up James Reimer to backup Martin Jones. Reimer left the team for Florida as a UFA in the off-season and he has passed by Troy Grosenick and looks to be ahead of Mantas Armalis. Dell will likely get some AHL time to keep him sharp as Jones figures to see the vast majority of the net for San Jose this season. Sep 25 |
