The Dallas Stars are addressing significant injury challenges by acquiring forward Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks prior to the March 7 trade deadline. They exchanged a 2025 first-round draft pick and a fourth-round pick, which could upgrade to a third-rounder if Dallas reaches the Stanley Cup Final. Granlund boasts a strong season, while Ceci adds veteran presence on defense, crucial as the team suffers from injuries to key players like Miro Heiskanen and Tyler Seguin. San Jose acknowledges its rebuilding phase by acquiring future assets.
The injury-plagued Dallas Stars are loading up with reinforcements, acquiring forward Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.
Dallas needs help now, anyway. The Stars' top defenseman Miro Heiskanen is out for several weeks with a knee issue.
Ceci is a veteran, right-shot blueliner who can plug in almost anywhere for Dallas coach Pete DeBoer.
Granlund's versatility will be a valuable asset for DeBoer as he navigates through the Stars' injury woes.
