Editor’s Note: Over the next few weeks, we will be reviewing the seasons of each player that played at least 15 games AND finished the season with the Sharks, in order of games played. We start with the team’s resident Wookiee, Brent Burns.
As Brent Burns went, the San Jose Sharks followed this season. Although Burns set the Sharks’ franchise record for points in a season by a defenseman and he became the first blueliner to score 75 or more points in consecutive seasons since Brian Leetch, his finish to the season prevented him from reaching truly historic heights.
