The Los Angeles Kings traded forward Carl Grundstrom to the San Jose Sharks for defenseman Kyle Burroughs, the teams announced Thursday.
Grundstrom recorded eight goals and four assists in 50 games last season while playing a fourth-line role. The 26-year-old is a high-energy, physical winger with limited offensive ability. He’s a pending restricted free agent and is eligible for a $1.3-million qualifying offer.
Burrough tallied eight points and a minus-42 rating in 73 games with the Sharks last season while logging 19:09 per contest. The right-handed blue-liner is best served in a bottom-pairing role. The 28-year-old has two years left on his contract with a $1.1-million cap hit.
