San Jose Sharks add Jacob Trouba, Mason Marchment and Eric Comrie in free‑agency push

The San Jose Sharks have bolstered their roster with three key free‑agency signings. Defenseman Jacob Trouba was signed to a four‑year contract carrying an $8.25 million cap hit, keeping him with the club through the 2029‑30 season. Forward Mason Marchment agreed to a five‑year deal worth $33.75 million (approximately $6.75 million AAV) after posting 45 points last season with Columbus and Seattle. Goaltender Eric Comrie joined on a two‑year contract with a $1.15 million average annual value after a season as a backup with the Winnipeg Jets.

The additions are aimed at strengthening the Sharks' blue line, forward depth and goaltending as the team seeks to improve on a recent season that saw a significant points increase but exposed weaknesses in net. General manager Mike Grier highlighted the veteran presence and the opportunity for the new players to pair with the club’s young core and emerging talents such as Macklin Celebrini.
