The San Jose Sharks, last year’s worst NHL team, are looking to improve with a young core led by Celebrini, Eklund, and Smith. General manager Mike Grier has been active during the 2025 free-agency period, signing several veteran players to support the young roster. Key moves include buying out Marc-Edouard Vlasic and extending Eklund. The Sharks also strengthened their goaltending by acquiring Alex Nedeljkovic. They made 12 signings, including two former Oilers. Several players departed in free agency, but their combined contribution last year was minimal, playing only 17 games.
The Sharks would also add Ryan Reaves via a trade and claim Nick Leddy off of waivers from the Blues.
The combination of those four players played in just 17 games last year, though.
