DUCKS DEAL THRUN TO SAN JOSE
The San Jose Sharks acquired defenseman Henry Thrun from the Anaheim Ducks for a third-round draft pick in 2024.
What does it give the San Jose Sharks
Thrun is a solid blueline prospect with both projectable size and offensive acumen. He is finishing up his final campaign at Harvard University and could join the Sharks for a cup of coffee down the stretch.
What does it give the Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks had little choice but to trade Thrun away, since he had informed them of his intention not to sign with the club. Anaheim did rather well under those circumstances, netting a third-rounder in '24 as the return.
Fantasy impact
Thrun is a name to know in most keeper leagues. Pick him up if available. Otherwise, he has a chance of cracking San Jose's rebuilding lineup in 2023-24, so keep an eye on him leading up to next season's yearly drafts.
