The San Jose Sharks and the Colorado Avalanche have officially brokered a trade that will send a former first-round pick out west to California.
Just now, it was announced that the Avalanche and the Sharks made a deal involving two prospects: Oskar Olausson and Daniil Guschin.
The Sharks have acquired Oskar Olausson from Colorado.
Olausson was a first-rounder of the Avalanche back in 2021 and has struggled to stick in the NHL thus far. However, in a weaker Sharks system, he should have a chance to establish himself.
Going back to Colorado, the Sharks are sending Daniil Gushchin to the Mile High City. Originally a third-round pick in 2020, Gushchin has outperformed his original draft position and has broken into the NHL after dominating the AHL.
The pair of prospects were both in need of a change of scenery and are getting one here and hopefully both can flourish with their new teams.
