This former Buffalo Sabres goalie officially has a home for the 2024-25 season.
Earlier this week, the San Jose Sharks released former Buffalo Sabres goalie Aaron Dell from his professional tryout (PTO). However, he will stay within the organization for the year.
The Sharks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, have signed Dell to an AHL contract for the 2024-25 season.
Dell, 35, played for the Barracuda back during the 2022-23 season, where he had a 15-17-4 record, a .898 save percentage (SV%), and a 3.14 goals-against average (GAA). He also played the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons with the Sharks' AHL affiliate before spending five seasons with the NHL squad from 2016-17 to 2019-20. He also appeared in four games for San Jose during the 2022-23 season.
Dell should be a good veteran goalie for the Barracuda to have around for the season. Given his immense experience, he should be a valuable mentor to the Sharks' prospects.
Dell spent the 2021-22 season with the Sabres organization. In 12 games with Buffalo, he posted a 1-8-1 record, a .893 SV%, and a 4.03 GAA. He primarily played with the Rochester Americans during that campaign, recording a 12-7-1 record, a .909 SV%, and a 2.91 GAA in 22 games for the AHL squad.
