Career

Before playing in the NHL, DeMelo played three seasons with the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors and one season with the Mississauga Steelheads of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

He was drafted 179th overall by the San Jose Sharks in the 2011 NHL entry draft.[1] On April 20, 2012, DeMelo signed a three-year, $1.97 million entry-level contract to join the Sharks.[2] He was sent down to play for their AHL-affiliates Worcester Sharks and San Jose Barracuda.

On October 17, 2015, San Jose called him up and DeMelo made his NHL debut in a 6–3 loss against the New York Islanders.[3] On January 16, 2016, he recorded his first NHL point, assisting on a Marc-Édouard Vlasic goal in a 4–3 overtime win against the Dallas Stars.[4] On January 26, DeMelo scored his first NHL goal against Roman Will in a 6–1 win against the Colorado Avalanche.[5] On July 11, DeMelo signed a two-year, $1.3 million contract to stay with the Sharks.[6]

On September 13, 2018, the Sharks completed a massive trade. They traded DeMelo along with Rūdolfs Balcers, Josh Norris, Chris Tierney, a 2019 second-round draft pick, a 2019 or 2020 conditional first-round draft pick, a 2021 conditional first or second-round draft pick, and a 2022 conditional first-round draft pick to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Erik Karlsson and Francis Perron.[7] He played parts of two seasons with the Senators.

On February 18, 2020, the Senators traded DeMelo to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for a 2020 third-round draft pick.[8] On June 25, 2024, DeMelo signed a four-year, $19.6 million contract to stay with the Jets.[9]
