The San Jose Sharks have announced they’ve re-signed defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin to a one-year contract carrying a $1 million AAV.

Mukhamadullin, 23, only spent part of the season with the NHL club. In 30 games, he recorded two goals and seven assists for nine points. At the AHL level, he played in 21 games and registered nine assists.

GM Mike Grier released a statement following the signing:

“Shakir earned the opportunity to be a part of the Sharks, and was able to get some valuable experience playing against quality opponents that helped aid his development,” said Grier. “We look forward to his continued growth in the upcoming season.”

In his NHL career, Mukhamadullin has appeared in 33 games and scored 10 points. In the AHL, he’s suited up for 88 games and recorded 53 points.

He was originally selected 20th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2020 NHL Draft and was acquired by the Sharks as part of the Timo Meier trade in 2023.
