3. Avalanche Trade Away Oskar Olausson to Sharks for Danil Gushchin
The Colorado Avalanche traded Oskar Olausson, a former first-round pick, to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Danil Gushchin. Olausson, despite his promising start, has struggled to find consistent playing time in the NHL, playing only four games. He was drafted 28th overall in 2021 and had a notable performance in the World Junior Championships with Team Sweden. Meanwhile, Gushchin, a 23-year-old forward, will likely be competing for a fourth-line spot with the Avalanche. He has played 18 NHL games and had a strong season in the AHL. The trade reflects the Avalanche’s need for more forward depth and the Sharks’ strategy to bolster their lineup with potential NHL talent.
