With the 2024-25 season gone and the San Jose Sharks having shifted their focus onto the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and the 2025-26 campaign, it sounds like they are closing in on a new contract with one of their pending free-agent defenders.

Shakir Mukhamadullin, who is 23 years old, is a pending restricted free agent (RFA) and had a $894,167 cap hit, according to PuckPedia. This season with the Sharks, he scored two goals and added seven assists for nine points through 30 games.

In the American Hockey League (AHL) with the San Jose Barracuda, he had nine assists in 21 games.

Contract details haven't been revealed or reported yet, but it sounds like the two sides are close to finding an even ground and agreeing to extend his contract.
