San Jose Sharks
Cap Space: $14,041,670
Restricted Free Agents
NHL – Melker Karlsson, Daniil Tarasov, Brenden Dillon
AHL – Peter Emanuelsson, Taylor Doherty, Eriah Hayes, Rylan Schwartz, Konrad Ebelshauser, Troy Grosenick, Christopher Crane, J.P. Anderson, Aaron Dell
Unrestricted Free Agents
NHL – John Scott, Matt Irwin, Scott Hannan, Antti Niemi
AHL – Karl Stollery, Michael Haley, Taylor Fedun, Bryan Lerg, Travis Oleksuk
This should be a rather standard off-season for the Sharks when it comes to free agents. Other than Niemi, there isn’t many big names on their free agent list. Brenden Dillon is probably the biggest priority out of everyone. Niemi has probably seen the last days with the Sharks.
A request though: Can this be the last season John Scott plays in the NHL?
Next: Los Angeles Kings
