GUSHCHIN FOR OLAUSSON
The Colorado Avalanche acquired winger Danil Gushchin from the San Jose Sharks for winger Oskar Olausson.
What does it give the Colorado Avalanche
This is a trade of winger prospects who are stuck in a rut and need a change of scenery. Gushchin could get a better opportunity with Colorado, a club with current cap constraints.
What does it give the San Jose Sharks
Gushchin was a restricted free agent this summer, so Olausson provides the Sharks with a little more time for player evaluation–since Olausson has one year left on his contract.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as both wingers who changed places in this trade need to prove themselves all over again with their new teams. That said, keep an eye on both.
