After starting the NHL Trade Deadline off by acquiring Kaapo Kahkonen and a 2022 fifth-round draft pick from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Jacob Middleton, the San Jose Sharks continued to sell off whomever they could, trading forward Andrew Cogliano to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Colorado’s own fifth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
Signed in 2021 Free Agency, Cogliano played in 56 games for the Sharks this season, scoring 4 goals and 11 assists. Per Dobber Hockey’s line combinations tool, 39 percent of Cogliano’s ice time was spent with Nick Bonino and Matt Nieto, mostly on the third line.
