Despite being in-and-out of the San Jose Sharks’ lineup at times, Adam Gaudette was one of the most valuable additions to their roster from the past offseason.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old forward was signed to a two-year contract, carrying an average annual value of $2 million per season. He added some quality depth goal scoring for the Sharks when needed, and continued building on one of the best seasons of his career, which came as a member of the Ottawa Senators organization in 2024-25.<\/p>\n
