Why it matters

The Sharks are in a rebuilding phase and Dellandrea's extension provides them with cost certainty and a player who can contribute in multiple ways, from penalty killing to physical play. His versatility and work ethic fit the identity the team is trying to establish.

He has missed time recently with a lower-body injury but is expected to return soon. The Sharks are hoping Dellandrea can help improve their points production as they continue to develop young talent around their established veterans.
