San Jose Sharks News
San Jose has signed Michael Misa to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Misa was the 2nd overall selection in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and signed a three-year, entry-level contract with San Jose on Wednesday. The 18-year-old is expected to compete for a spot on the Sharks' opening night roster after an impressive 62-goal, 134-point campaign with Saginaw (OHL) across 65 games last season.
San Jose has acquired the rights to Carey Price and a 2026 5th-round draft pick for Gannon Laroque.
Price and his $10.5 million contract have been acquired by the San Jose Sharks on Friday, alongside a 2026 5th-round pick for defenseman Gannon Laroque. This move is nothing more than a salary dump for Montreal and allows San Jose to stay even more above the cap floor than they already were, in case of trades down the line. Price played his last NHL game on April 29th, 2022 and is not expected to ever return from a significant knee injury.

San Jose has signed Jeff Skinner to a one-year, $3 million contract.
Skinner signed with the Oilers last summer but struggled in 2024-25, recording 29 points (16G / 13) while averaging just 13:00 TOI/gm. In San Jose he should have a larger role, likely in the top-6 and will look to get back to 20-plus goals for the 11th time in his career.

The veteran is a solid two-way blueliner, who will join other veterans like Mario Ferraro, John Klingberg and Nick Leddy in San Jose.

San Jose has signed Jimmy Huntington to a one-year, two-way contract.
San Jose added to their depth in the minors by signing 26-year-old forward Jimmy Huntington to a one-year, two-way contract. The Quebec native was limited to only four games in 2024-25 with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) due to injury, but still has 17 goals and 37 points across 71 games in the AHL in the last two seasons.
San Jose has acquired Alex Nedeljkovic from Pittsburgh for a 2028 3rd round pick.
The Sharks are heading in a different direction between the pipes in the 2025-26 season, now with Alex Nedeljkovic and Yaroslav Askarov battling for the crease. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic posted a subpar 3.12 GAA and .894 SV% in 38 appearances last season (14-15-5) on a Pittsburgh Penguins team that struggled defensively.
San Jose has signed Adam Gaudette to a two-year contract worth $2 million AAV ($4M total).
Gaudette played a career-high 81 games last season and scored a career-high 19 goals with the Ottawa Senators. The 28-year-old has split most of his career alternating between the AHL and NHL and will hope to continue a trend from last year, playing as an NHL regular in the 2025-26 season.
The Sabres have acquired Michael Kesselring and Josh Doan from the Mammoth for JJ Peterka.
Two days before the NHL Draft, Buffalo has moved on from 23-year-old JJ Peterka by acquiring Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring on Wednesday night. Kesselring will join his third organization after being drafted by Edmonton in the sixth round of the 2018 draft (164th overall) and debuting with Arizona in 2022-23. The 25-year-old has the potential to be a top-four defenseman as shown by his seven goals, 29 points, 89 PIMs and 150 SOG in 82 GP with Utah in 2024-25.
The Kraken have acquired Mason Marchment from the Stars for a 2026 3rd Round Pick and a 2025 4th Round Pick.
Marchment will be in the final year of a four-year deal that carries a $4.5M AAV cap-hit. The Stars are pressed up against the salary cap, so Marchment is their first move to clear some space. The 30-year-old winger was on pace for a career-best season in 2024-25, but missed 20 games due to injury. He finished the year with 47 points (22G / 25A) in 62 games, a 29-goal, 33-assist pace.
Line Change
Skinner is expected to draw into the Oilers lineup for Game 4.
Line Change
Skinner is expected to be a healthy scratch for Game 1 vs. Florida.
Line Change
Skinner is expected to make his series debut on Thursday in Game 5.
Skinner has not played since Game 1 in the first round of the playoffs but will draw back into the lineup due to a Zach Hyman (upper body) injury. The 33-year-old Skinner had 29 points (16G / 13A) in 72 games with the Oilers this season.
Line Change
Skinner will be a healthy scratch for Game 2 in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
With Evander Kane (abdominal surgery) returning to the lineup for Game 2 on Wednesday, Jeff Skinner will be a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Skinner played his first career playoff game in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings, recording one assist and -2 plus/minus in 11:12 time-on-ice.
