Overview

  • The trade sends defenseman Ryan Ellis and a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick to San Jose for forward Carl Grundstrom and defenseman Artem Guryev.
  • The pick condition specifies the Sharks receive the earlier of Philadelphia’s two sixth-rounders in the 2026 draft.
  • Ellis has not played since November 2021 because of a serious injury and is expected to be placed on long‑term injured reserve.
  • Philadelphia gains short‑term cap flexibility, with reports indicating about $4.45 million cleared from the books.
  • San Jose reduces its active NHL contracts to 48 to preserve roster options for prospects, while the Flyers placed Grundstrom on waivers shortly after the deal.
