San Jose Sharks re-sign RFA defenseman to two-year deal

The San Jose Sharks announced Wednesday that they have re-signed defenseman Henry Thrun to a two-year, $2 million contract.

“Henry has been a reliable addition to our defense corps since he joined the organization,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said in a statement. “We are encouraged by his development since he came to San Jose and look forward to seeing him continue to grow his game with our club.”

In 51 games last season for the Sharks, Thrun, in his first full professional season, had 11 points and averaged 20 minutes per game in ice time. For his NHL career, Thrun has 14 points in 59 games.

Thrun was a restricted free agent, one of two the Sharks had entering this week. The other is forward Thomas Bordeleau, who still needs a new contract.

Thrun, at six-foot-two, 190 pounds, was originally selected by Anaheim in the 2019 NHL Draft (fourth round, 101st overall). He was acquired by San Jose from Anaheim in exchange for a third-round selection in 2024.
