San Jose Sharks: News, Rumors, Schedule, Roster, Stats

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.

I’m not entirely positive the San Jose Sharks have featured, or do feature currently, a player that is just universally hated and loathed in the teal and white. As with any passionate fan base (as San Jose truly is), there are going to be those who rubbed fans the wrong way. I’ve singled out…

2 Teams That Could Land Kirill Kaprizov if Wild Can’t Extend Him

Jesse Courville-Lynch | August 4, 2025August 4, 2025

Kirill Kaprizov leaving the Minnesota Wild? It seems insane, but what if? Kaprizov is eligible for an extension, as his current deal expires at the end of the 2025-26 season, but the two sides have yet to agree on a new deal. There hasn’t been any indication that he is interested in testing the open market, but it’s always possible for him to do so, especially if he and the Wild can’t find even ground on a new deal. The belief is that the young superstar will become the highest-paid player in the NHL, at least temporarily until Connor McDavid…

Misa & Dickinson Are Sharks’ Toughest Prospect Decisions for 2025-26

Alex Hutton | August 4, 2025August 4, 2025

The San Jose Sharks are building one of the most anticipated prospect pools in the NHL, but great prospects come with tough decisions on how to manage them.

Of the many prospects who fit into this category, the two who offer the most difficult choices are a pair of skaters from the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), forward Michael Misa and defenseman Sam Dickinson. Both of them are stuck between multiple options,…
