Dallas Stars trade former top-15 pick Ty Dellandrea to the San Jose Sharks

The Dallas Stars have announced this afternoon that they have traded former 13th overall pick Ty Dellandrea to the San Jose Sharks. In return the Dallas Stars will receive a 4th round pick.

The Dallas Stars are looking to continue contending with their current core. With that in mind, they have traded off one of their younger players for an asset they can use to acquire a potential veteran.

For the San Jose Sharks they continue to load up on young talent as they reload their roster to support their incoming franchise player Macklin Celebrini. Ty Dellandrea was expected to be a two-way top-six center in the NHL but has not found offensive success to this point and been relegated to a defensive specialist.

At just 24 years old there is plenty of time for Ty Dellandrea to improve his career. With a potentially more offensive role next season in San Jose this could be just the move the young center needs to turn around his career.
