Brought in as a free agent in 2016, Mikkel Boedker came to the Sharks with a lot of promise to inject some secondary scoring, power play finishing ability, and some of the speed that eluded the team in a close, but not-that-close loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final. In the 2016-17 season, Boedker, putting it gently, disappointed. A career second-worst points per game average, frequent healthy scratches, and a dismal power play on-ice shooting percentage, among other things, doomed the speedy Dane to a down season, prompting concerns about his shiny new 4-year deal in teal.
