Sharks ink Toffoli to 4-year, $24M contract

The San Jose Sharks signed forward Tyler Toffoli to a four-year contract with a $6-million cap hit Monday.

Toffoli, 32, tallied 33 goals and 55 points in 79 games last season with the New Jersey Devils and Winnipeg Jets. He's tallied over 30 goals in back-to-back campaigns.

San Jose's top goal-scorer was Fabian Zetterlund, who recorded 24 goals. He was the only Sharks player to exceed the 20-goal mark.

Toffoli accumulated 11.7 goals above replacement last season, per Evolving-Hockey. Forward Justin Bailey paced the Sharks with 8.8 GAR.

Toffoli had a $4.25-million cap hit last year. He inked a four-year, $17-million deal with the Montreal Canadiens in 2020.

The Sharks drafted Boston University star forward Macklin Celebrini with the first overall pick Friday.
