The San Jose Sharks have announced that they’ve extended contract offers to a handful of prospects ahead of the June 1 signing rights deadline.
A bona fide offer allows a team to retain exclusive negotiating rights with a drafted player.
The Sharks have extended bona fide offers to the following prospects:
- Nate Misskey – Defense – UMass-Lowell (NCAA)
- Colton Roberts – Defense – Vancouver Giants (WHL)
- Carson Wetsch – Forward – Kelowna Rockets (WHL)
By extending offers, the Sharks will hold onto the rights of all three players, giving them the ability to negotiate entry-level contracts down the line.
With the June 1 deadline approaching, teams across the league are finalizing decisions on which prospects they plan to retain—and which they’ll let go. In San Jose’s case, two players did not receive offers:
- Theo Jacobsson – Forward – Nybro Vikings (Allsvenskan)
- Evgeni Kashnikov – Defense – Yekaterinburg (KHL)
Since they weren’t signed, both Jacobsson and Kashnikov will re-enter the NHL Draft on June 27–28.
For GM Mike Grier and the Sharks, this is one more step toward the 2025 NHL Draft. But before then, there’s still work to do. Don’t be surprised if a few more RFA or UFA decisions are made before the draft—just to get a clearer picture heading into free agency on July 1.
