Jake Walman has come a long way since the NHL trade deadline back on March 7 .

The Edmonton Oilers traded for the San Jose Sharks for a conditional first -round pick in the 2026 NHL draft and prospect Carl Berglund .

The Sharks have earned just seven points in 11 games since the trade deadline, for a league-low 50 on the season .

Both teams have just eight games remaining on their schedules and will face each other three more times in that span.

“I’m just happy to try and be a part of that,” says Skinner .

“So, I think we're all kind of pulling in the right direction and we’re all trying to figure out the same thing.”.
