Philipp Kurashev News: Finds new team in free agency
Kurashev signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Sharks on Tuesday, according to PuckPedia.
Kurashev accounted for seven goals, 14 points and a minus-28 rating with Chicago in 2024-25. The Sharks arguably have more talent than the Blackhawks, looking ahead to 2025-26, so Kurashev's production could increase, but his plus-minus rating may not improve much, if any. The 25-year-old should be able to work his way into a middle-six role with his new club this coming season.
