When Barclay Goodrow entered the offseason after the Sharks’ dismal ending to the 2024-25 season, he talked about getting healthy. For too many seasons in a row, he had spent April, May and sometimes even June battling in the postseason despite injuries, bumps and bruises. He wanted last summer to be different. With the Sharks not even close to sniffing the playoffs, he knew he finally had the opportunity to spend some time truly healing.

San Jose Sharks General Manager Mike Grier is bringing in reinforcements to help address one of the team’s biggest offseason needs: defense. Today, the Sharks announced that it traded the 20th overall pick in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for the rights to Michael Kesselring and the 27th overall pick in the draft.

From Olympic Gold medalist to first-round draft pick, Laila Edwards is the newest member of PWHL San Jose. The defender headlined the first-ever draft class for PWHL San Jose, bringing the total number of players for San Jose’s team to 16.

Since coming to San Jose to helm the Sharks, General Manager Mike Grier has never wavered from his promise of drafting the best player available (BPA). He’s always said that he will draft the BPA and no matter what the noise around him is, he’s stuck to that promise. It happened last season when the Sharks selected Michael Misa despite having a need for a defenseman and even more so when, with the 30th overall pick, the team selected goaltender Joshua Ravensbergen because he was next up on the team’s internal list of best players available.

The Santa Clara Planning Commission addressed its priorities for the upcoming year, including study sessions it would like to see.
