Gambrell scored five goals and 12 points in 49 games this season, a pace of eight goals and 20 points per 82 games. Now under contract for next season, Gambrell would help to fulfill San Jose’s expansion draft exposure requirements for forwards, should he be left unprotected.
An extension for Gambrell was never going to be overly significant, though I’d say I am a little surprised to see him passing the $1 million mark, especially only on a one-year deal. Regardless though, it’s a relatively minor move and we’ll have to see if Gambrell even suits up for the Sharks again, given that he’s been mentioned in trade rumours or could be selected by Seattle.

Do you think Dylan Gambrell will still be with the Sharks next season?
