In a trade that swaps two high-end draft picks that have been unable to establish themselves at the NHL level, Bordeleau heads to New Jersey for a change of scenery. The 23-year-old Bordeleau played 59 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) last season, scoring 38 points (14G / 24A).
Bordeleau is day-to-day and will not play Sharks' final game of the season, but is expected to be ready for the AHL playoffs. The 23-year-old Bordeleau has 38 points (14G / 24A) in 59 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) this season.
Bordeleau made his season debut on Sunday but exited before finishing the contest due to an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old Bordeleau has 18 points (6G / 12A) in 44 games games.
Bordeleau had yet to appear for San Jose due to a lower-body injury and has been assigned to the Barracuda (AHL) to get up to game speed. The 22-year-old centre appeared in 27 games with the Sharks in 2023-24, picking up six goals, 11 points, 18 PIMs and a -18 plus/minus.
San Jose's offensive depth took a hit on Tuesday as they announced forward Thomas Bordeleau would be out "for weeks" and is at risk of missing the Sharks' season opener. The 22-year-old is entering his fourth season with San Jose but has still yet to amass more than 27 games played in a single season. In 2023-24, he had six goals, 11 points, 18 PIMs and 48 SOG in 27 games played.
Bordealeau set career highs in 2023-24 in games played (27), goals (6), assists (5), points (11), PIMs (18) and SOG (48) and earned himself a one-year, $875,000 contract extension with San Jose. The 22-year-old was the Sharks' 2020 2nd round pick (38th overall) and has six goals and 18 points in 43 games played across three NHL seasons.
Bordeleau was called up on Wednesday in correspondence to Ty Emberson (lower-body) being placed on injured reserve. The 22-year-old Bordeleau played six games with the Sharks earlier this season but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign with the Barracuda (AHL), tallying 25 points (11G / 14A) in 35 games.

Bordeleau was a healthy scratch for the Sharks' previous contest but will draw back into the lineup as San Jose goes back to the standard 12 forwards/6 defensemen line combos. The 21-year-old centre has a goal, five SOG, two PIMs, and a -2 plus/minus in four games with the Sharks so far in 2022-23. Bordeleau will take Marc-Edouard Vlasic's spot in the Sharks' lineup.
Bordeleau had 22 goals, 19 assists, 24 PIMs and a -18 plus/minus through 64 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) and has been recalled for the first time Thursday to the Sharks. The 21-year-old will make his season debut Thursday after playing in eight games with the Sharks last season and picking up five assists.
