The San Jose Sharks have issued qualifying offers to Collin Graf and Shakir Mukhamadullin.
The Sharks will now have to sign the RFAs.
On the other side of it, the San Jose Sharks didn’t qualify Philipp Kurashev, Gabriel Carriere, and Noah Beck, making them UFA’s.
Kurashev, 26, got off to a quick start with the Sharks last year but was a frequent healthy scratch during the second half of the season.
The winger-center, who also represented Switzerland at the 2026 Olympics, notched seven goals and 20 points in 45 games last year.
Goaltender Carriere and defenseman Beck are prospects who played mostly with the San Jose Barracuda and Wichita Thunder last year.
What will Graf’s extension look like?
