The injury-plagued Stars are loading up with reinforcements, acquiring forward Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci from the Sharks in exchange for a 2025 first-round draft choice and 2025 fourth-round selection.
Granlund and Ceci were pending unrestricted free agents and tapped as ideal rental players ahead of the NHL's March 7 trade deadline. Dallas needs the helps now, anyway: The Stars' top defenseman,Ceci is a veteran, right-shot blueliner who can plug in almost anywhere for Dallas coach Pete DeBoer. He can handle a heavy workload if needed and eat up minutes on the penalty kill.
Dallas should get a boost up front from Granlund. The 32-year-old is having a strong season with 15 goals and 45 points in 52 games. He paced San Jose in shorthanded minutes and on the power play while also actively contributing at 5-on-5. Granlund's versatility will be a valuable asset for DeBoer as he navigates the Stars' injury woes.
Meanwhile, San Jose remains in rebuilding mode and is a smartly collecting assets it can use to build a foundation for the future. GM Mike Grier is likely to remain active before and after the NHL breaks mid-month for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.
