The San Jose Sharks reshaped their roster ahead of the NHL trade deadline, making several moves to adjust the lineup.
On Thursday the San Jose Sharks acquired defenseman Jett Woo from the Vancouver Canucks. In return, Vancouver receives defenseman Jack Thompson.
At 23 years old, Thompson has played 34 games in his NHL career, holding 10 points and -11 rating. This season, Thompson has played primarily with the San Jose Barracuda.
Woo was originally drafted by the Canucks in the second round of the 2018 NHL Draft. While the 25-year-old spent most of his career in the AHL, he served as an alternate captain this season.
Since Vancouver Canucks never gave Woo an NHL opportunity, the Sharks can evaluate how he fits their prospect rotation. San Jose recently acquired Kiefer Sherwood from Vancouver as well. Having another former Canucks player in the system could help with the adjustment.
On Wednesday, Sherwood signed a five-year contract extension with Team Teal, worth about $28.75 million. The 30-year-old forward was acquired ahead of the Olympic break in exchange for two second-round draft picks and Cole Clayton.
Within his first five games with the Sharks, Sherwood has logged one goal, one assist, and a +1 rating. Prior to the trade, Sherwood scored 17 goals in 44 games, while ranking high in hits across the league. A five-year extension signals that the Sharks org views Sherwood as a long-term part of their lineup.
The Sharks have six players set to become unrestricted free agents (UFAs) at the end of the 2025-26 season.
