San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson is stepping down after 19 seasons on the job.
SAN JOSE — When Doug Wilson took over as general manager in San Jose in 2003, the Sharks were a middling franchise that had won four playoff series in more than a decade and were coming off a last-place finish.
Becher said the organization had been operating with the expectation that Wilson would return until changing directions the past few days. The search will be focused on external candidates and be handled by owner Hasso Plattner, Becher and Will. Becher said there is no rush and that a new hire might not be in place before the draft in July, but should be hired before the next season.
But that was far from the case for almost the entirety of Wilson’s tenure as the Sharks won the third-most regular-season games and second-most playoff series during Wilson’s run.
