The Sharks have announced that they have signed two of their RFAs to new contracts.
Specifically, San Jose signed one of their newest acquisitions in forward Luke Kunin and goalie Kaapo Kahkonen each to two-year deals. Both of their deals each carry an AAV of $2.75 million.
Kunin scored 13 goals and and nine assists for 22 points in 82 games for
the Predators last season and tallied one assist in four playoff games.
In total, Kunin has 46 goals and 47 assists for 93 points in 251 games
with the Wild and Predators, along with four goals and one assist for
five points in 14 playoff games. We'll have to wait and see how Kunin performs with the Sharks, but hopefully this deal works out in their favor.
Kahkonen performed well for the Sharks since he was acquired around the trade deadline from the Wild in the Jake Middleton trade, amassing a .916 SV% along with a 2-6-1 record and 2.86 GAA in 11 games with the Sharks. In other words, Kahkonen played well in his small sample size with the Sharks, but the team in front of him couldn't help him out or had left him out to dry on most nights he was in net. Hopefully this trend changes in a more positive direction starting next season, where Kahkonen can win more games due to greater production from the offense.
