The San Jose Sharks are going to miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2014-15 season. In the offseason of 2015, San Jose decided to make a trade for a kid from North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The Sharks sent Sean Kuraly and their first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft to the Boston Bruins in exchange for goaltender Martin Jones.
Jones started his career in Southern California with the Los Angeles Kings. The undrafted free agent was signed after a stellar career with the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League.
