SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks have signed another player from their 2024 draft class, inking Russian forward Igor Chernyshov to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Chernyshov’s contract, per a source, carries a salary cap hit of $975,000 at the NHL level. However, it remains undetermined whether Chernyshov, 18, will play professionally right away in the AHL with the Barracuda or join the Ontario Hockey League’s Saginaw Spirit, which holds his Canadian Hockey League rights.
