The San Jose Sharks have signed forward Ty Dellandrea to a two-year contract extension worth $3.25 million, the team announced Friday. The deal keeps the 24-year-old under contract with San Jose through the 2027–28 NHL season, signaling the organization’s interest in maintaining continuity as it continues to shape its roster.
Dellandrea, a former first-round draft pick, has built a reputation as a responsible two-way forward capable of contributing in multiple situations. Known for his work ethic, defensive awareness, and willingness to play with energy on the forecheck, he has often been deployed in a variety of roles, including time on the penalty kill and in matchup situations against opposing forwards.
By committing to a two-year term, the Sharks secure a young player who is still in the development phase of his career but has already gained meaningful NHL experience. The structure of the contract provides the club with short-term cost certainty while giving Dellandrea the opportunity to further establish his role and value at the top level.
For San Jose, the extension fits into a broader effort to stabilize the forward group with players who can contribute in different areas of the game. Dellandrea’s versatility allows the coaching staff to use him up and down the lineup, whether in a checking role, supporting offensive players on a secondary scoring line, or helping protect leads in the late stages of games.
Dellandrea’s style of play aligns with the type of identity the Sharks are working to reinforce: competitive, structured, and responsible without the puck. His ability to win battles, pressure opponents, and support his defensemen in the defensive zone makes him a useful option in situations where the team needs reliable minutes.
The agreement also gives Dellandrea a measure of stability as he continues to refine his game. Over the next two seasons, he will have the opportunity to carve out a more defined role, build chemistry with teammates, and contribute to the Sharks’ efforts to improve in the standings.
While the financial terms are modest by league standards, the extension underscores the Sharks’ belief that Dellandrea can be an important part of their forward depth. The club will look to him to provide consistency, energy, and responsible play as they continue to build toward a more competitive future.
