Sharks trade Mikael Granlund, Cody Ceci to Stars for 2025 first-round pick NBC Bay Area [Video]

Five weeks ahead of the NHL’s March trade deadline, the Sharks took action Saturday morning.

San Jose traded center Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci to the Dallas Stars for a 2025 first-round draft pick and a conditional third-rounder, the team announced in a press release.

The Sharks will receive the Stars’ 2025 third-round selection if Dallas advances to the Stanley Cup Final. If Dallas does not reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2025, the Sharks will receive a 2025 fourth-round selection (Winnipeg’s selection) instead. Dallas (33-17-1) currently sits in second place in the Western Conference’s Central Division.

San Jose now holds eight scheduled selections in the 2025 NHL Draft, including two in the first round.
