The San Jose Sharks signed newly acquired defenseman Michael Kesselring to a three-year, $13.5 million contract Monday. The 26-year-old was a pending restricted free agent at the time of the signing. He joined the team in a trade with Buffalo two weeks earlier.
Contract and acquisition details As part of the trade, the teams exchanged first-round draft picks, with Buffalo moving up seven spots. The 6-foot-5 defenseman completed his fourth NHL season and his first season with Buffalo. Kesselring had recorded more than 20 points in each of his previous two seasons with Arizona and Utah.
Last season he was limited by a lower-body injury and finished with two assists in 34 games.
