2025 Fantasy Outlook
Giles had 23 points in 66 regular-season games with AHL Charlotte in 2023-24, but his numbers decreased in 2024-25, when he had 11 points in 47 regular-season outings between Charlotte and San Jose at the AHL level. In the NHL, he added one goal in 17 appearances between the Panthers and the Sharks. A deadline trade to San Jose gives Giles a better chance of more NHL action in 2025-26, but the 25-year-old is unproven and will be on a rebuilding team, so there's little chance of a breakout campaign being on the way. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Panthers in June of 2024. Traded to the Sharks in March of 2025.
Recovering from lower-body surgery
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Friday that Giles had surgery on a lower-body injury during the offseason and is "a couple weeks away" from returning to the ice, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Giles made 17 regular-season appearances between Florida and San Jose last year and recorded a goal, 21 hits and seven blocked shots while averaging 9:14 of ice time. He'll likely miss at least most of the preseason while recovering from surgery, and he'll presumably head to the AHL once he's cleared to return.

ANALYSIS
Giles logged just nine games for the Panthers this season in which he recorded zero points, four shots and 16 hits while averaging 7:23 of ice time. Currently in the minors with AHL Charlotte, the 25-year-old winger will likely report to AHL San Jose and link up with the Barracuda before getting a crack at the Sharks' lineup.
