Wilson had been the Sharks’ general manager for 19 years, first stepping into the role in 2003. He had taken a leave of absence in late November and the decision to step down comes as a result of wishing to focus on his health and recovery.

Wilson didn’t win a Stanley Cup with the team but he did lead the Sharks to success as a franchise, with 14 playoff appearances in 15 years between 2004 and 2019. Joe Will is set to remain as interim general manager until a replacement is named.
