The San Jose Sharks joined the NHL ahead of the 1991-92 season when the Gund brothers, minority owners of the Minnesota North Stars, wanted to relocate the North Stars to the Bay Area. After the league vetoed that plan, a deal was struck that resulted in the Gunds selling their shares in the North Stars in exchange for having the opportunity to buy an expansion franchise. The Sharks struggled out of the gate and didn’t post a winning record until the 1999-00 season. What followed, though, was a period of consistent success that included 13 postseason appearances in 14 years and three trips to the Western Conference Final. While they have yet to win a Stanley Cup, they did reach the 2016 Stanley Cup Final, which they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
