The Dallas Stars made a significant trade by acquiring center Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks, sending a first-round pick and a conditional third-round pick in return. General Manager Jim Nill emphasized the need for both players to fill gaps in the lineup due to injuries. Granlund is seen as a key addition to strengthen the forward group, while Ceci will enhance the defense at a crucial time. This trade comes amidst a flurry of activity from several NHL teams making strategic moves before upcoming tournaments.
Granlund gives the banged-up Stars some dependable depth down the middle with Tyler Seguin out long term following hip surgery.
Ceci provides much-needed help on the blue line with No. 1 defenseman Miro Heiskanen considered week to week with a lower-body injury.
