SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks have signed former Nashville Predators forward Egor Afanasyev to a one-year, $800,000 contract.
Afanasyev, 24, was acquired by the Sharks from the Predators last June for forward Ozzy Wiesblatt, San Jose’s first-round pick in 2020. Afanasyev, though, returned to Russia and played last season with CSKA Moscow, with whom he had 21 points in 53 games.
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 211 pounds, Afanasyev, a second-round pick by Nashville in 2019, has one goal in 19 career NHL games, all with the Predators.
Afanasyev also has 113 points in 187 career AHL games with the Milwaukee Admirals, where he was a teammate of Sharks goalie prospect Yaroslav Askarov from 2022 to 2024.
“Egor brings a combination of size and skill to our forward group,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said in a statement. “We are excited to bring him into our organization as he continues his growth in the North American game.”
