Toffoli will head to the West Coast to join the young talent out in San Jose as he signed a four-year deal worth $24.0 million ($6.0M AAV) with the Sharks on Monday. The 32-year-old was acquired at the trade deadline by Winnipeg from New Jersey and had 33 goals, 55 points and 229 SOG in 79 total games played in 2023-24.
Toffoli is battling an illness and will be unavailable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. After a hot start with the Jets, Toffoli has struggled to find his place on his new team, being held off the scoresheet during a six-game losing skid.

The Jets acquired Tyler Toffoli from the Devils for a 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick before last week's trade deadline. Toffoli joined the New Jersey Devils in the offseason and was off to a blistering start, scoring 21 points (12G / 9A) in his first 21 games before slowing down to a more modest 23 points (14G / 9A) in his 40 subsequent games. Nevertheless, Toffoli adds a significant boost to the offensive depth of a Jets team that has already bolstered their lineup by adding Sean Monahan several weeks ago.

Toffoli was a surprise scratch for Tuesday's game, with the team only announcing his absence at the start of warmups. Max Willman will draw into the Devils' lineup to fill the void.
Toffoli has one year left at $4.25 million and is coming off the best season of his career, posting career-bests in goals (34), assists (39) and points (73) in 82 games. Toffoli could have another 30-30 season playing alongside either Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes.
Toffoli began his career under Flames head coach Darryl Sutter when they were with the Kings. Toffoli will provide middle-6 depth for the Flames and scored 37 goals with 33 assists (70 points) in 89 games with the Canadiens in last year and this season combined.
Toffoli will be out until at least early February, which means we likely won't see him until after the Olympic break. Look for Artturi Lehkonen to continue to play up the lineup while Toffoli is out. It may also mean an extended look at 2018 second-round pick, Jesse Ylonen.
Toffoli was missing from Monday's practice session and head coach Dominique Ducharme said he's expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Laurent Dauphin was recalled from the AHL to try and help replace Toffoli.
Toffoli missed Monday's practice due to an upper-body injury and is expected to be re-evaluated ahead of Tuesday's game vs. the Lightning. For now, consider him day-to-day and expect a more detailed update later Monday or on Tuesday.
Toffoli has missed the last four games but all signs point to him returning to the lineup on Saturday. Toffoli, who has 18 goals and nine assists in 30 games this season, skated on the third line with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jonathan Drouin in the morning skate.
Toffoli was scratched from Saturday's game vs. the Canucks and will miss all three games vs. Edmonton this week. With Toffoli out, Artturi Lehkonen will remain on the Habs' third line on Monday.
Toffoli was hurt in the first game of the qualifying round vs. the Wild and has not skated with his teammates since. Toffoli is still unfit to play, so don't expect to see him in Game 1 on Wednesday.
