Overview
- The one-for-one trade was announced by the Wild, sending defenseman Kyle Masters to San Jose for winger Oskar Olausson.
- Both players will report to their new organizations’ affiliates, with Masters assigned to the Sharks’ ECHL team in Wichita.
- Olausson, a 2021 first-round pick by Colorado, has four NHL games without a point and posted 26 AHL points last season after three straight 11-goal campaigns.
- San Jose had waived and assigned Olausson to the AHL Barracuda out of camp, and he departs without appearing in a game for the organization.
- The Sharks’ move reflects an AHL roster reshuffle to create minutes for prospects and follows their recent waiver claim of right-shot defenseman Vincent Iorio.
