The Colorado Avalanche is moving on from Oskar Olausson.
The Avs sent the 2021 first-round pick to San Jose in a trade that brought back two-way forward Danil Gushchin, the team announced on Friday afternoon.
Olausson never found his footing at the NHL level, appearing in just four games total with the Avs after being selected with the 28th overall pick of the NHL draft. That included two games last season in which he logged three shots on goal with zero points.
Gushchin skated with the Sharks on opening night last season and played a total of 12 games with the big club, logging one assist and no goals.
