SAN JOSE – One day after seeing Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci get traded to the Dallas Stars, an already thinned-out San Jose Sharks team was forced to pick up the pieces Sunday and figure out the best way forward without their leading scorer and arguably their best defensive defenseman.

The Dallas Stars acquired Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for draft picks after placing two players on LTIR.

While some praised Jim Nill’s work, others wondered if the Stars made a mistake sending a first-round pick away in Saturday morning’s trade.
