The San Jose Sharks faced a challenging 2024-25 NHL season, finishing last despite standout performances from young stars. Captain Logan Couture announced his retirement due to injury, concluding a notable career entirely spent with the Sharks. A former ninth overall pick in 2007, Couture played 933 games, recording 701 points. His legacy includes a standout playoff performance in 2016, leading the Sharks to their only Cup Final. Despite his contributions, injuries plagued him in recent seasons, which ultimately led to his decision to retire and pass on the captaincy to the next generation.
