Wilson has been a pillar to the Sharks franchise and has been the general manager for an impressive 18 seasons. At 64-years-old, anytime you hear about medical leave you certainly worry. We wish Wilson nothing but the best.

The Sharks are 10-8-1 on the season and host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night.
