The Sharks have taken care of one of their restricted free agents, reaching an agreement with center Joel Kellman on a two-year contract extension.
The Athletic first reported the deal. San Jose Hockey Now reported the contract carries an average annual value of $750,000.
Kellman, 26, had seven points in 31 games as a rookie for the Sharks during the 2019-2020 season. He averaged 11 minutes and 35 seconds of ice time per game, becoming a reliable depth centerman for the Sharks after he was recalled from the Barracuda on Dec. 19.
The signing answers at least one of the questions the Sharks have at center entering next season.
