2026 Projections
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sharks in June of 2026.
Inks one-year extension
Cardwell signed a one-year, two-way contract with San Jose on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Cardwell saw action in just seven regular-season games for the Sharks last season in which he tallied one goal, six shots and nine hits while averaging 11:56 of ice time. The 23-year-old winger was slightly more productive in the minors, generating seven goals and eight assists in 24 regular-season games with the Barracuda. Still, the 2021 fourth-round pick figures to remain a fringe roster player for San Jose heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cardwell showed some scoring upside with 11 goals and 48 points in 63 regular-season games with AHL San Jose in 2024-25. He also earned a goal in six appearances with the Sharks across two stints with the big club. The Sharks continue to stock up on high-end prospects, but Cardwell has enough talent to compete for a spot with the big club in training camp, and he should get at least some time in the NHL during 2025-26. However, he'll likely peak as a middle-six option for now, and most fantasy managers can find better options late in drafts.
