SHARKS MOVE UP TO NO. 11 IN NHL DRAFT AND ADD FORWARD IN TWO TRADES
The Sharks are becoming active before the 2024 NHL Draft even begins. San Jose acquired the No. 11 overall pick from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for its No. 14 and No. 42 selections, Sharks general manager Mike Grier announced Thursday. The Sharks now have nine scheduled picks, including No. 1 overall, in the two-day draft, which begins Friday at 4 p.m. PT in Las Vegas.
Shortly after, Grier also announced the team had traded defenseman Kyle Burroughs to the Los Angeles Kings for forward Carl Grundstrom. Grundstrom, 26, registered 12 points (eight goals, four assists) in 50 games with the Kings last season to back up his strong 2022-23 campaign, in which he set career highs in all scoring categories with 19 points, 12 goals and seven assists through 57 games.
