Officially founded in 1990, the San Jose Sharks began play in the 1991-92 season as the NHL’s 21st franchise.

However, things began to turn around in their third season, and it wasn’t long before the […]

The San Jose Sharks had a disastrous 2023-24 season. While it ended with the Sharks picking Macklin Celebrini in the 2024 NHL Draft, San Jose completely bottomed out.

The San Jose Sharks added more veteran depth on the blueline on Monday. The Sharks traded for defenseman Cody Ceci in a deal made with the Edmonton Oilers. San Jose also added a 2025 third-round pick while sending defenseman Ty Emberson to Edmonton. It’s certainly an interesting trade given the timing. The Oilers had a […]

The San Jose Sharks made a couple of nice moves this summer in the quest to come out of the Western Conference basement in 2024-25.
