Summary
Zack Ostapchuk, the 23-year-old forward, just signed a four-year, $9.4M deal with the San Jose Sharks—averaging $2.35M per season—locking him in before free agency. In 59 games last season, he tallied 7 points (4G, 3A) and led the team with 140 hits. Originally a 2021 second-round pick by Ottawa, Ostapchuk has played 122 regular-season games across both teams with 11 points. The Sharks see long-term potential in his physical game and hope he can boost his offensive output. This contract signals San Jose’s belief in his future role.
