"It happened on Friday, as the Sharks traded minor league defenseman Kyle Masters and their own 2026 fourth-round pick to the Carolina Hurricanes for a 2027 fifth-rounder originally owned by the Chicago Blackhawks. The Sharks were at the maximum of 50 NHL contracts, so trading Masters for only a draft pick creates an opening for the team to add Misa's deal to their ledger. Misa, 18, played his ninth NHL game of the season on Thursday in the Sharks' 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals."
"When Misa plays his 10th NHL game, possibly as soon as Friday night against the Detroit Red Wings, the first year of his entry-level deal will be burned, and it will become the Sharks' 50th contract. Misa has three points in nine NHL games and is averaging 11:32 in ice time. Against the Capitals, Misa had a season-low 9:58 in ice time, had one shot on net, and won one of five faceoffs."
San Jose traded minor-league defenseman Kyle Masters and its 2026 fourth-round pick to Carolina for a 2027 fifth-rounder originally owned by Chicago. The move creates a roster spot because the Sharks were at the NHL's 50-contract maximum, enabling the team to add Michael Misa's entry-level contract. Misa, 18, has played nine NHL games, recording three points and averaging 11:32 of ice time. He logged a season-low 9:58 against Washington with one shot and won one of five faceoffs. When Misa appears in his 10th game, the first year of his deal will be burned and count as the 50th contract. Masters, 22, appeared in 10 ECHL games with Wichita and did not play with the AHL's Barracuda; he was acquired from Minnesota in October.
