Jacob Trouba has signed a four-year contract with the San Jose Sharks worth $8.25 million annually. The 32-year-old defenseman previously played for the Anaheim Ducks, helping them reach the playoffs last season after serving as captain for the New York Rangers.
Trouba's signing addresses the Sharks' defensive needs as they look to improve after missing the playoffs by four points. He joins a young core that includes forwards Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, and the Sharks have significant cap space remaining for further moves.
