It’s an interesting signing for the Sharks to add more forward depth and also comes only about a week after the Sharks also re-signed depth forward Jonah Gadjovich. However, even without the likes of William Eklund and Thomas Bordeleau potentially making the jump to the NHL, the Sharks already have more forwards than available spots. As a result, there’s certainly a decent chance Svechnikov makes the Sharks' roster but ends up as a spare forward, or possibly doesn't even make the cut altogether.
