Sharks Sign Alexander Wennberg to Three-Year, $6 Million Extension

The move underscores San Jose's push for roster stability entering a tight wild-card race.

Overview

  • The three-year agreement begins next season and runs through 2028–29 at a $6 million average annual value.
  • Reporting indicates San Jose retained Wennberg’s no-trade protection, cooling prior trade chatter from interested clubs.
  • Wennberg has 26 points in 41 games this season, anchoring a key center role for an improved Sharks lineup.
  • The Sharks are 20-18-3 and sit just outside a Western Conference wild-card position.
  • With this contract settled, insiders suggest GM Mike Grier could take a hybrid deadline approach by exploring moves on defense while adding pieces that fit the core.
