The Avalanche and Sharks traded forwards, with Danil Gushchin headed to Colorado in exchange for fellow forward Oskar Olausson.
Russian native Gushchin notched two goals and five points in 18 games from 2023-2025 with the Sharks, who drafted him in the third round of the 2020 NHL Draft.
He recorded 51 points in 56 games last season with San Jose’s AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda. His 28 goals marked a new career high and was second-best on the Barracuda.
Olausson was a first-round pick by the Avalanche in the 2021 NHL Draft and has appeared in four games for the Avs over the past three seasons.
