The Sharks have traded winger Carl Grundstrom and defenceman Artem Guryev to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenceman Ryan Ellis and a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick, the team announced Sunday.
Grundstrom, 27, was set to make $1.8 million with the Sharks this season before hitting unrestricted free agency in the summer.
He tallied three goals and six assists in 56 games with the Sharks last season, his first and only campaign with the team.
The Umea, Sweden, native has 43 goals and 33 assists in 292 games over his seven-year career. He was originally selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs with the 57th pick in the 2016 NHL Draft.
Guryev, 22, spent last season with the Wichita Thunder in the ECHL, picking up two goals and three assists in 47 games. He was drafted by the Sharks 135th overall in 2021.
Ellis, 34, hasn’t played since 2021 due to a severe back injury. He signed an eight-year, $50 million contract with the Nashville Predators in 2018 and will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026-27 season.
Over his 11-year career, split between the Predators and Flyers, the Hamilton, Ont., native has 76 goals and 199 assists in 566 games.
