Sharks Reassign Lucas Carlsson

November 7, 2024 at 1:06 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

Nov. 7: Carlsson has cleared waivers, per Friedman. He’ll head to the AHL to get his 2024-25 campaign started.

Nov. 6: The Sharks have activated defenseman Lucas Carlsson from season-opening injured reserve and subsequently placed him on waivers for the purposes of assignment to AHL San Jose, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Carlsson, 27, joined the Sharks in free agency on a two-year, two-way deal. The Swedish blue-liner had spent the previous three seasons in the Panthers organization, spending most of his time there on assignment to AHL Charlotte aside from an extended 40-game run on the NHL roster in 2021-22.

His NHL journey began with the Blackhawks, who drafted him in the fourth round in 2016. He spent two post-draft seasons with Brynäs IF of the Swedish Hockey League before arriving in North America, suiting up with Chicago’s AHL affiliate in Rockford.

Carlsson spent three seasons in the Blackhawks organization, recording two assists in 18 appearances before he was traded to Florida in April 2021. In total, he added 42 appearances to his career NHL tally with the Panthers, bringing his career stats to three goals and eight assists for 11 points with a +6 rating in 60 games, averaging 12:50 per contest with a 53.0 CF%.

At the minor-league level, the left-shot defender is a premier two-way threat. He led the league in goals by a defenseman in 2022-23 with 20 in 61 games, and he earned a spot in the AHL All-Star Classic last season amid a 15-goal, 39-point season in 52 contests with Charlotte that was cut short by injuries.

There could be some interest in him on the waiver wire given that offensive AHL pedigree and decent possession metrics in his brief NHL minutes. Having another year left on his contract could be a significant enough deterrent to sway away potential claimers, though.

While he’ll start the season in the minors, Carlsson will likely be among the Sharks’ chief call-up options if injuries strike the back end. He’ll be a major boon to an AHL San Jose club that’s already near the top of their division.
