Confirmed Trade: [DAL/SJS] Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci for 2025 1st and Conditional 25' 4th

[Maurice of Orange]

Stars may have slightly overpaid in draft capital but it is necessary to acquire depth before other teams make a move.

Granlund was loathed in Pittsburgh and Ceci was dumped by Edmonton but both players are useful in a middle 6 and bottom pairing roles.

Ceci might be the best player in this deal. Granlund lighting it up, sure, but with all the best offensive opportunities he can handle. He's turning 33 this month.

Ceci is definitively not the best player in this deal. That is a terrible take.

Granlund is not good. Tidy work by SJ turning him into a 1st round. He’ll do nothing on the Stars once he’s relegated to 3rd line duties.


No its perfectly inflated value for expiring contracts close to the deadline. Granlund = 1st, and Ceci = 4th

Hilariously wrong take.

I'm personally ok with Dallas rolling Ceci out in the playoffs. That's just cap space they can't weaponize further.

Ceci is the 3rd or 4th best piece of this trade.

Great deal for the Sharks. Mike Grier is a great GM.
