Former Sharks Forward Announces Retirement From NHL

Yahoo20-06-2025
While the San Jose Sharks are focused on their offseason and what they can do to slowly begin climbing back into playoff contention, one of their former forwards has announced his retirement from professional hockey at the age of 37.
Nick Bonino, who spent the 2021-22 season and part of the 2022-23 season with the Sharks, is hanging up his skates. He played 868 career games in the NHL, scoring 159 goals and adding 199 assists for 358 points, which comes out to a 0.41 points-per-game average.

Bonino spent the 2024-25 season with HK Olimpija Ljubljana in Slovenia in the ICEHL, where he scored six goals and added 11 assists for 17 points through 22 games.
He was expected to return there for the 2025-26 season, but has instead decided to join the Pittsburgh Penguins' organization as an assistant coach.
We wish Bonino all the best in his future endeavours, and the best of luck in this next chapter of his hockey career!
San Jose Sharks 2025 Draft Target: Haoxi 'Simon' Wang
San Jose Sharks 2025 Draft Target: Haoxi 'Simon' Wang Over the last few weeks, we've covered draft targets for the San Jose Sharks for both of their first-round picks. With the NHL Draft just over a week away, things are going to heat up, and fast. Teams are going to hold their final scouting meetings before the draft takes place next Friday, June 27th.
Potential San Jose Sharks RFA Target Re-Signs With Rangers
Potential San Jose Sharks RFA Target Re-Signs With Rangers The San Jose Sharks could've had an offer sheet on the table for a depth power forward if he had hit the open market and been eligible for an offer sheet, but he has recently re-signed with the New York Rangers.
San Jose Sharks 2025 Draft Target: Henry Brzustewicz
San Jose Sharks 2025 Draft Target: Henry Brzustewicz As I mentioned in my Bill Zonnon draft target piece, the San Jose Sharks have two first-round picks and some big decisions to make. Their first pick is second overall, which they landed after falling one spot in the NHL Draft Lottery. The other may require more work from their scouting department. They hold the Dallas Stars' 30th overall pick from the Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci trade earlier this season.

Oilers' Connor McDavid predicted to follow Wayne Gretzky's footsteps in shocking trade idea

Oilers' Connor McDavid predicted to follow Wayne Gretzky's footsteps in shocking trade idea originally appeared on The Sporting News Everyone wants to know what Connor McDavid is going to do. The Edmonton Oilers superstar is entering the final season of his contract. Whether with Edmonton or elsewhere, he's expected to set a new NHL record with the annual value of his impending new deal. But there are a lot of questions. Will McDavid stick with the Oilers? Will he go for an eight-year deal or shorter? Just how much will it cost? One NHL analyst, Dan Powers of the Empty Netters podcast, suggested that the Oilers could actually trade McDavid before he gets to free agency. That'd be valuable for the acquiring team to get McDavid ahead of time and have exclusive negotiating rights with him (along with having him down the stretch of the 2025-26 season. Powers' suggested destination will make Oilers fans cringe: the Los Angeles Kings. MORE: Connor McDavid has $45 million reason to look forward to contract negotiations Yes, the same team that took Wayne Gretzky away from Edmonton. 'I have said so many times — and this is not because we live in LA. — if we saw the King's Ransom Part 2 and he got traded to LA, it would be the greatest thing to happen to the NHL in 50 years. It would be the greatest story of all time,' Powers said. Gretzky spent nine years with the Oilers before moving on to Hollywood. McDavid has already been in Edmonton for 10 seasons. The Great One, of course, had already won four Stanley Cups with the Oilers by the time he left. McDavid is still seeking his first. The Kings haven't been one of the popularly rumored destinations for McDavid (Toronto leads that list). But it'd certainly be quite the historical hockey serendipity if McDavid ended up in Los Angeles, too. MORE: Jaromir Jagr may continue hockey career at age 53
