After missing much of this season due to an undisclosed illness, San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson will step down from his role, effective immediately.
In a statement released this morning, Wilson said this:
“These past 19 years serving as general manager of the San Jose Sharks have been a privilege and one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable periods of my life. I have been incredibly fortunate to work for and with some of the most talented and passionate people in the game of hockey.
“I want to thank Hasso Plattner, along with our previous ownership groups, for the incredible opportunity and the trust they placed in myself and our staff.
