The San Jose Sharks<\/a> have been on a roll this offseason — and now they’ve landed one of free agency’s top forwards too, signing Mason Marchment<\/a> to a five year-year contract with an approximate AAV of $7 million per season.<\/p>\n

San Jose reeled in Marchment right after the league’s free agency window officially opened at 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Marchment comes to the Sharks after splitting last season between the Seattle Kraken<\/a> and Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a>. The Kraken got four goals and 13 points in 29 games out of the veteran before sending him to the Blue Jackets for a pair of draft picks. Marchmennt finished the year there with 15 goals and 32 points in 39 games.<\/p>\n

This type of investment from a team has been a long time coming for Marchment. He went undrafted and worked his way up through Toronto<\/a>‘s minor league system before getting short-term opportunities in Florida<\/a> and Dallas<\/a> prior to joining Seattle and Columbus.<\/p>\n

Marchment, 30, had a career-high 53 points with the Stars in 2023-24, and has reached 22 goals twice in his career since then. Going to San Jose will give Marchment a chance to potentially share ice time with rising stars Macklin Celebrini<\/a> and Will Smith<\/a>. There’s also a special family connection — Marchment’s late father, Bryan, suited up for the Sharks himself from 1997-2003.<\/p>\n

The Sharks have been busy this last month, trading forward William Eklund<\/a> to the Ottawa Senators<\/a> in return for No. 9 overall pick in last week’s NHL draft<\/a> — a pick they used to select defenseman Keaton Verhoeff<\/a>. San Jose also acquired defenseman Michael Kesselring<\/a> from the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> ahead of the draft. San Jose will also be hoping to welcome Ivar Stenberg<\/a>, who they selected second overall in the draft, to the forward mix for 2026-27 as well.<\/p>\n
