As chaos ensues around the future of one franchise that calls American Airlines Center home, the other showed signs of hope. With protesters lining the PNC Plaza steps into Sunday evening to speak out against the Mavericks’ big trade Saturday,

While the Vancouver Canucks might’ve garnered all the headlines over the weekend, the Dallas Stars were also pretty busy. On Saturday, the Stars went out and traded for forward Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci,

It is no secret Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci were well respected in the San Jose Sharks locker room. Players were clearly in a down mood and gave their reactions to the trade after practice on Sunday.

After months of anticipation and injuries continuing to deplete their roster, the Dallas Stars finally made their first blockbuster move of the 2024-25 season. The Dallas Stars announced Saturday morning that they had made a trade with the San Jose Sharks,

Getting a first-rounder in return is a great bit of business for the Sharks, especially without any salary retention (since San Jose has all three spots filled). Granlund and Ceci both came to San Jose as salary dumps, and the Sharks managed to turn them into something that should help push their rebuilding process along.

While some praised Jim Nill’s work, others wondered if the Stars made a mistake sending a first-round pick away in Saturday morning’s trade.

The Stars acquired forward Mikael Granlund and defenseman Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks on Saturday in exchange for Dallas' first-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a conditional third-round selection in 2025.
