San Jose Sharks ink Russian forward Igor Chernyshov to a three-year, entry-level contract.
San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier listens to a question during a press conference announcing Ryan Warsofsky as the new head coach of the San Jose Sharks at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Monday, June 17, 2024. 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.
Chernyshov, listed at 6-foot-3 and 203 pounds, was taken with the first pick of the second round, 33rd overall, by the Sharks last month. Chernyshov’s selection came a day after San Jose took center Macklin Celebrini first overall and defenseman Sam Dickinson at No. 11. The Sharks have already signed Celebrini and Dickinson to entry-level contracts. Celebrini, who left Boston University after one season to turn pro, is expected to be in the NHL this season while Dickinson will likely be returned to the London Knights of the OHL.
Last season, Chernyshov split the 2023-24 season between Dynamo Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League and MHK Dynamo Moscow of the MHL. He had four points in 34 KHL games and 28 points in 22 MHL games.
