The San Jose Sharks finished with a league-worst 52 points last season, so it's not too surprising there was significant turnover with their roster this summer. Their most notable additions came on defense, with Nick Leddy, Dmitry Orlov and John Klingberg all adding much-needed NHL experience on their back end. Up front, Jeff Skinner should give them some scoring pop, especially if the plan is to glue him to Macklin Celebrini or Will Smith's wing.
The 2025 NHL offseason has been eventful, featuring key player trades, 224 newly drafted prospects, and numerous re-signings. ESPN is grading significant signings based on player fit and contract terms.
