In a significant trade, the Dallas Stars acquired 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 highlighted Granlund's scoring abilities and Ceci's physical presence as key additions to the team. This transaction comes amid a flurry of trades in the NHL as teams prepare for the upcoming trade deadline. The moves signal an urgent strategy from several teams trying to solidify their rosters ahead of the postseason.
"We are excited to welcome both Mikael and Cody to Dallas," Dallas general manager Jim Nill said. "We see both players as addressing immediate needs for our team."
"Things have heated up around the league, for whatever reason it may be, the break coming. You get out of the break and you're basically at the deadline, so I think teams are just trying to get ahead of it," said Sharks GM Mike Grier.
