Jake Walman, 28, still has two years remaining on his current contract with an AAV of $3.4 million per season.
Walman quickly became a fan favourite by both the fans of the team, NHL and his teammates after he infamously hit the griddy after scoring a goal. The celebration became his signature move after he scored big goals for the team.
Last season, he had 21 points in 63 games and averaged 16:46 of ice time per game. The Sharks are getting a very liked defenceman who will likely carry on his dance celebration whenever he puts the puck in the back of the net.
