Sources: Kunin, Sharks near one-year, $2.75M contract extension

The Sharks and restricted free agent Luke Kunin are nearing a contract, sources tell San Jose Hockey Now’s Sheng Peng.

Kunin, 26, was on the last year of a two-year extension signed by general manager Mike Grier in July 2022. Kunin was acquired in a trade with the Nashville Predators as one of the first moves of Grier’s tenure.
