The Sharks acquired forward Gustav Nyquist from the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night in exchange for two draft picks.
In the trade, the Red Wings will receive the lower of San Jose or Florida’s 2019 second round selections, along with San Jose’s third round selection in 2020. Should the Sharks reach the 2019 Stanley Cup Final or re-sign Nyquist, the third round selection in 2020 becomes San Jose’s second round selection.
“Gustav is a talented, versatile forward who plays with speed and excellent hockey sense,” Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. “His track record of strong play and character speak for themselves and we’re very excited to add him to our dressing room.
