Bordeleau was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Saturday.
Bordeleau had 14 goals and 38 points in 59 regular-season appearances with AHL San Jose in 2024-25. The 23-year-old has appeared in 44 career regular-season NHL games, recording six goals and 18 points over those outings, and it's plausible that he'll get at least one stint with the big club at some point during 2025-26.

Rotowire
Bordeleau (concussion) signed a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Thursday.
The 23-year-old was dealt earlier in the month from San Jose in exchange for Shane Bowers.

He spent most of last season with AHL San Jose, tallying 14 goals and 24 assists across 59 regular-season appearances.

Devils' Thomas Bordeleau: Heading to New Jersey
Rotowire
Bordeleau (concussion) was traded to the Devils from the Sharks on Wednesday in exchange for Shane Bowers.
Bordeleau made just one NHL appearance for the Sharks during the 2024-25 regular season, and he missed the last two games of the year due to a concussion. It seems likely that he'll be ready for the start of training camp this fall, and he'll get a change of scenery after spending the last four seasons in San Jose. The 23-year-old will likely be forced to spend plenty of time in the minors next season.

Sharks' Thomas Bordeleau: Dealing with concussion
Rotowire
Bordeleau revealed that his previously undisclosed injury is a concussion, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Friday.
Bordeleau made his NHL season debut April 13, but then missed the Sharks' final two games due to the injury. Although he was listed as day-to-day at the time, Bordeleau admitted he wasn't actually close to returning. Still, the 23-year-old is making progress, so perhaps he'll be okay for training camp. He had 14 goals and 38 points in 59 regular-season outings with AHL San Jose in 2024-25.

Rotowire
Bordeleau (undisclosed) is still day-to-day and won't be an option versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Bordeleau will miss the Sharks' regular-season finale but may still be available when AHL San Jose kicks off the Calder Cup Playoffs. For the Barracuda this year, the 23-year-old center notched 14 goals and 24 helpers in 59 appearances. A strong showing in the postseason could help Bordeleau's case to make the Opening Night roster next year.
