Sharks Acquire Klim Kostin from Red Wings in Pre-Deadline Trade

In a strategic move before the NHL trade deadline, the Sharks trade for forward Klim Kostin, sending defenseman Radim Simek and a draft pick to the Red Wings.

The San Jose Sharks acquired forward Klim Kostin from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for defenseman Radim Simek and a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL draft.
Kostin, 24, has struggled this season with only four points in 33 games but was a former first-round pick and has shown potential in previous seasons.
Simek, 31, has not played for the Sharks this season and was loaned to the Grand Rapids Griffins by the Red Wings immediately after the trade.
This trade marks Kostin's fourth NHL team, having previously played for the St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, and Red Wings.
The trade occurred just hours before the NHL trade deadline, indicating strategic moves by both teams as they adjust their rosters.
