Name/Position: Matt Tennyson, D

Age: 25

2015-16 cap hit/contract: $625,000, pending RFA

2014-15 year in review: Matt Tennyson made Sharks history on Dec. 18, 2014, when he became the first Jr. Sharks player to score a goal for the San Jose Sharks. It was a nice moment for the franchise, as original owner George Gund – who passed away in 2013 – had dreamt about that moment, according to former coach Todd McLellan.
