Thursday's NHL: Sharks GM Doug Wilson stepping down after 19 seasons

San Jose, Calif. — San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson is stepping down after 19 seasons on the job.

The team announced Thursday that Joe Will remains interim GM until a full-time replacement can be found. Will has been running the team’s hockey operations since Wilson went on medical leave in late November.

“While I have made great progress over the last several months, I feel it is in the best interest of the organization and myself to step down from my current duties and focus on my health and full recovery,” Wilson said in a statement.
