Which San Jose Sharks Have The MOST To Gain This Season? | Mukhamadullin Ready To Cash In?

Which San Jose Sharks players have the most to gain in the 2025-26 season? Three key names stand out: defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin, forward Philipp Kurashev, and goaltender Alexander Nedeljkovic. Mukhamadullin, a 23-year-old blueliner on a one-year deal, aims to prove he deserves a long-term spot on the Sharks' backend. Can he build on his 9-point campaign and secure a multi-year contract? Kurashev, 26, looks to bounce back from a down year and recapture his 50-point form. With young centers like Celebrini and Smith emerging, where does Kurashev fit in San Jose's top-six plans? Nedeljkovic seeks stability between the pipes at age 29. Could he become Yaroslav Askarov's mentor and earn an extension as the Sharks' reliable 1B goalie option? Tune in for an in-depth look at these three Sharks fighting to cement their NHL futures in teal. Check out the podcast on Twitter , Instagram , Facebook , and YouTube .
