Sharks Sign Trouba for Defense Boost | San Jose News

San Jose Sharks just pulled off a major defensive upgrade by signing veteran Jacob Trouba to a four-year, $8.25M average-value deal. At 32, Trouba brings elite durability and production — 35 points in 81 games last season with Anaheim, including 10 goals and 149 blocked shots. He’s a proven top-four defenseman, averaging nearly 23 minutes per game, and fills a critical void left by the departures of multiple UFA defensemen. With 13 NHL seasons under his belt across three teams, Trouba’s experience and consistency signal the Sharks’ serious push to build a stronger, more resilient blue line for the future.
