Wilson, who was first hired as the Sharks’ general manager in May 2003, issued a lengthy statement Thursday, saying, “These past 19 years serving as general manager of the San Jose Sharks have been a privilege and one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable periods of my life. I have been incredibly fortunate to work for and with some of the most talented and passionate people in the game of hockey.”
