I'm a tad late with this, but the Sharks have announced their roster ahead of their season opener against the Jets on Saturday. However, it still remains relevant since the Sharks are one of the last teams to play their season opener this year.
There are a few rookies that have made the opening night roster out of training camp, while a few notable players such as Dylan Gambrell and Adam Raska will begin the season with the Barracuda in the AHL. The Sharks rookie I am most excited about this season is their seventh overall pick in this past draft, William Eklund. I believe he has the potential to breakout in his first season and make a case for the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie.
With that being said, here is the Sharks' complete 2021-22 opening night roster:
Forwards:
Rudolfs Balcers
Alexander Barabanov
Nick Bonino
Andrew Cogliano
Logan Couture
Jonathan Dahlen
William Eklund
Tomas Hertl
Kevin Labanc
Timo Meier
Matt Nieto
Lane Pederson
Jasper Weatherby
Defensemen:
Brent Burns
Mario Ferraro
Santeri Hatakka
Erik Karlsson
Jake Middleton
Radim Simek
Marc-Eduoard Vlasic
Goaltending:
Adin Hill
James Reimer
Injured Reserve:
F Jeff Viel
*D Nikolai Knyzhov
*Knyzhov is is not officially listed on the injured reserve, but he is currently battling a lower body injury and out of the lineup indefinitely.
Evander Kane is listed as a non-roster player as he is currently being investigated by the NHL for off-ice matters. His $7 million cap hit will not go against the salary cap for the Sharks.
