Sharks' Alexander Wennberg: Inks $10 million deal
Wennberg agreed to terms on a two-year, $10 million contract with the Sharks on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Wennberg barely made the 30-point threshold this past season, needing 79 regular-season games split between the Kraken and Rangers to do it. The 29-year-old center looks poised to slot into a third-line role but could also be shifted to wing if the Sharks want to keep youngster Will Smith in his natural position.

Rangers' Alexander Wennberg: Status uncertain
Wennberg is questionable to face the Capitals for Game 3 on Friday with an undisclosed injury, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Wennerg's absence from Thursday's practice was deemed maintenance and he was on the ice for an optional game-day skate Friday, so coach Peter Laviolette may just be playing it coy about Wennberg's availability. Still, it's a situation that fantasy players will have to monitor prior to puck drop. If Wennberg can't go Friday, Jonny Brodzinski figures to have the inside track for a spot in the lineup.

Rangers' Alexander Wennberg: Joining Blueshirts
Wennberg was traded to the Rangers by the Kraken on Wednesday in exchange for a second- and fourth-round pick in 2024 and 2025, respectively, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
Wennberg hasn't exactly been tearing it up lately with just one goal and a mere 16 shots in his last 13 outings, though he did chip in with five helpers over that stretch. Still, the 29-year-old center figures to challenge for a spot on the Rangers' No. 2 power-play unit while also moving into the third-line center role. Despite the recent slump, Wennberg should be capable of getting over the 30-point threshold for the third straight year.
