The Detroit Red Wings traded forward Gustav Nyquist to the San Jose Sharks for a second-round pick in 2019 and a conditional third-round pick in 2020, the team announced early Monday morning.
If the Sharks advance to the Stanley Cup Final this year or Nyquist re-signs in San Jose, the conditional third-round pick in 2020 becomes a second-round pick in the same draft.
Nyquist is in the final year of his contract that carries a $4.75-million cap hit. However, the Red Wings will retain 30 percent of his salary, giving him a $3.35-million cap hit with the Sharks, according to Cap Friendly.
The 29-year-old has 16 goals and 49 points in 62 games this season. He'll add to a San Jose offensive attack that ranks third in the NHL in goals per game.
Nyquist waived his full no-trade clause to join the Sharks.
