On Tuesday, he appeared on SiriusXM NHL Network Radio with Scott Laughlin and spoke about how he almost returned to his former club, the San Jose Sharks.
The San Jose Sharks improved a ton this offseason, but had they added Pavelski on top of all that they have done, it would have been the cherry on top.
Unfortunately, things didn't materialize, and he would officially announce his retirement from the NHL. After 18 years in the NHL, Pavelski laced up the skates in 1332 NHL games and collected 476 goals and 592 assists for 1068 total points.
