SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks now have at least one restricted free agent under contract, signing forward Ty Dellandrea to a two-year extension.
According to PuckPedia, the deal is worth $2.6 million and has an average annual value of $1.3 million. By the end of the contract, Dellandrea will be a restricted free agent with arbitration rights.
Dellandrea was acquired from the Dallas Stars on June 19 for a 2025 fourth-round draft pick initially owned by the Winnipeg Jets.
Dellandrea, a first-round draft pick by the Stars in 2018, turns 24 on July 21. He was coming off a one-year, $900,000 contract.
Other Sharks’ restricted free agents include Carl Grundstrom, Thomas Bordeleau, Henry Thrun, and Ty Emberson.
It’ll be interesting to see where Dellandrea slots on a Sharks team which has a handful of new faces.
A year after scoring 28 points in 82 games for the Stars, Dellandrea was a healthy scratch 40 times this past season, scoring just nine points in 42 games for a deep Dallas team that won the Central Division. He was also scratched in 13 of 19 playoff games as the Stars advanced to the Western Conference final. He averaged less than 13 minutes of ice time per game for the season.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Dellandrea will undoubtedly get more opportunity with the Sharks, whose additions include Barclay Goodrow, Tyler Toffoli, Alex Wennberg and rookie Will Smith. Macklin Celebrini was selected No. 1 overall at the NHL Draft in Las Vegas last week.
