SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks have signed Alexander Wennberg to a three-year, $18 million contract, keeping the veteran center in the organization rather than trading him or letting him walk via free agency.
Wennberg, 31, is tied for second on the Sharks with 19 assists and tied for third with 26 points on the year.
Wennberg has 396 career points in 830 career games in the league with the Sharks, New York Rangers, Seattle Kraken, Florida Panthers and Columbus Blue Jackets.
Wennberg is in the second year of a two-year, $10 million contract he signed with the Sharks on July 1, 2024. He was slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and could have been a sought-after player at the NHL trade deadline in March. Instead, the Sharks clearly felt that he was too valuable of a player to let walk away.
