The San Jose Sharks have announced that they have reassigned forward Ethan Cardwell to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda. This decision comes as the Sharks continue to evaluate their roster in a challenging season. Cardwell appeared in a handful of games with the Sharks, gaining valuable experience at the NHL level despite the team's overall struggles.

During his time in the NHL, Cardwell showcased his ability to contribute offensively and proved his potential for future growth. The Sharks are focusing on developing their younger talents, and sending Cardwell to the AHL will allow him to gain more ice time and further refine his skills.

As the season progresses, the Sharks may look to make additional roster moves to better align with their long-term goals. With the AHL offering a competitive environment, Cardwell will have the opportunity to lead and potentially return to the NHL with more confidence and experience, which is vital for the Sharks' rebuild efforts.
