Overview
- Edmonton acquired Mukhamadullin and prospect Zack Sharp from the San Jose Sharks in the Darnell Nurse trade on July 1, 2026.
- His two-year contract was announced July 4 by agent Dan Milstein and confirmed by independent outlets including PuckPedia.
- The deal carries a $1.75 million cap hit per season, a raise from his prior $1.0 million salary, and keeps him on RFA status at expiry.
- Mukhamadullin is a 6-foot-4 left-shot defenseman drafted 20th overall in 2020 who has split time between the KHL, AHL and the NHL and posted five goals and 12 points in 50 games in 2025–26.
- The short-term pact lets GM Stan Bowman evaluate Mukhamadullin in Edmonton without a long-term cap commitment and preserves flexibility for further roster moves.
