Sharks General Manager Mike Grier answers questions from the media following the trade of star defenseman Erik Karlsson to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 3 team trade on August 6, 2023.

The Sharks acquired Pittsburgh’s 2024 first-round NHL Draft selection, forward Mikael Granlund, forward Mike Hoffman, and defenseman Jan Rutta in exchange for defenseman Erik Karlsson, forward Dillon Hamaliuk, and San Jose’s 2026 third-round NHL Draft selection. San Jose will retain $1.5 million on Karlsson’s contract annually for the next four seasons (approximately 13.04%). If Pittsburgh’s selection in 2024 is a Top-10 selection, Pittsburgh can elect to transfer this pick to their 2025 first-round selection.
