The San Jose Sharks are set to begin the 2026-27 season in 74 days, a number previously worn by Dylan DeMelo, who was drafted 179th overall in 2011. After debuting in the NHL in the 2015-16 season, DeMelo played until 2018 with the Sharks before being traded to the Ottawa Senators, and later to the Winnipeg Jets in 2020. He has since established himself as a key defenseman, accumulating 718 NHL games at 33 years old.
