Henry Thrun: our analysis
2024-25 season: 60 GP, 2 G, 10 A, 12 PTS, -23 +/-, 17:31 TOI. WAR -0.7 (295th of 314) · PAL 1, very poor.
In 2024-25, Henry Thrun, 25, posts a PAL Rating of 1 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.7 ranks 295th among 314 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
On the other hand, possession (2, among the weakest in the league) and shooting (3, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), no component is positive; the costliest: EV offense (-2.2).
A slight dip from 2023-24, when his PAL was 6; his WAR went from -0.1 to -0.7.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 5 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Henry Thrun's story
Growing up in Southborough, Massachusetts, Thrun left St. Mark's School after his sophomore year to join the USA Hockey National Team Development Program and finished high school at Northville, graduating summa cum laude. Two seasons with the USNTDP (2017–18 and 2018–19) gave him experience against top junior talent and established him as an NHL prospect.
Selected in the fourth round, 101st overall, by the Anaheim Ducks in 2019, Thrun opted to develop at Harvard. He stepped into the college game in 2019–20, posted strong defensive metrics, and when the Ivy League cancelled play he skated in the USHL with Dubuque for 2020–21, where his scoring rate ranked among the top defensemen. Returning to Harvard, he produced back-to-back high-output seasons in 2021–22 and 2022–23 and earned multiple ECAC and AHCA honours.
Professionally, his rights moved to San Jose in February 2023 and he signed an entry-level deal with the Sharks at the close of his junior year. He made his NHL debut on 23 March 2023 and assisted on two goals. Thrun scored his first NHL goal on 9 January 2024 versus Toronto and was voted the Sharks' 2023–24 Rookie of the Year by Bay Area media on 14 April 2024; he signed a two-year extension on 24 July 2024. After registering 2 goals and 10 assists in 60 games in 2024–25, he was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs on 10 July 2025 for Ryan Reaves, and later agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets on 4 July 2026.
Internationally, Thrun represented the United States at the 2019 IIHF U18s (bronze) and at the 2021 World Junior Championship (gold). As a player he is noted for steady positional play, clean puck movement out of his own zone and a consistent ability to join the attack from the blue line—traits that carried him from USNTDP to NCAA recognition and into the NHL. Following the Sharks' season, he returned to Harvard to complete a double major in economics and psychology.
