US EditionSharks Trade Two Players to Philadelphia. Where Does Their Roster Now Stand?
The Sharks traded two players to resolve a contract limit issue and keep prospects on the roster, acquiring Ryan Ellis’s $6.25 million cap-hit contract and a 2026 draft pick.
- On October 5, 2025, the San Jose Sharks acquired Ryan Ellis and a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick, trading Carl Grundstrom and Artem Guryev to the Philadelphia Flyers.
- Facing the Monday roster deadline, the San Jose Sharks traded Carl Grundstrom to avoid waivers and stay under the 50-contract limit.
- The deal moved both an NHL forward and a young defensive prospect as Carl Grundstrom, 27, had nine points in 56 games this year and signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract, while Artem Guryev, 22, was a 2021 fifth-round pick.
- The Flyers gained draft flexibility and now have five picks in the 2026 draft, with a conditional sixth-round pick, after moving Guryev and acquiring Ryan Ellis. San Jose's contract count drops to 49, leaving prospects Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson possibly retained.
- Ellis' contract carries multi-year salary obligations and cap implications, as he is owed $5.5 million this year and $4.5 million next year and will likely go on long-term injured reserve.
