Kevin Kurz of The Athletic: San Jose Sharks GM Doug Wilson said they’ve already started their season review process. They were expecting to compete for the Stanley Cup this season, but things didn’t go as planned.
Many of the Sharks core players are locked up on big, long-term deals, so they’ll have to re-tool on the fly. Wilson could look to trade one or two of his veterans.
Goaltender Aaron Dell is a pending free agent and may not be back next season.
Forwards Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau are more likely than not to be back with the Sharks next season.
