SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks have reportedly bolstered their forward group on the first day of NHL free agency Monday, signing Tyler Toffoli to a multi-year contract.
Toffoli’s four-year, $24 million contract with the Sharks carries an average annual value of $6 million, per Chris Johnston of TSN and The Athletic. The deal makes Toffoli the Sharks’ second-highest paid forward behind captain Logan Couture, who has three years left on his eight-year, $64 million deal.
The Sharks were looking to add some scoring up front after they had just one winger, Fabian Zetterlund, break the 20-goal plateau last season. As a team, the Sharks scored just 181 goals, the second-lowest total in the NHL.
In the 32-year-old Toffoli, the Sharks have someone who had 260 career goals in 812 games, including 33 goals with the Winnipeg Jets this past season, won the Stanley Cup in 2014 with the Los Angeles Kings.
