Carl Grundstrom was acquired by the San Jose Sharks from the Los Angeles Kings on June 27 for defenseman Kyle Burroughs.
Los Angeles Kings forward Carl Grundstrom plays during an NHL hockey game, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, in Philadelphia against the Flyers. SAN JOSE – After he and the Los Angeles Kings lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the playoffs for the third straight year, winger Carl Grundstrom knew some drastic changes to the team’s roster were probably in order and that he might on his way out of town.
The overhaul by Kings general manager Rob Blake didn’t stop there. Los Angeles, after going 44-27-11 last season, also traded P-L Dubois to the Washington Capitals and let forward Jaret Anderson-Dolan, defenseman Matt Roy and goalie Cam Talbot walk as free agents. The Sharks know what they’re getting in Grundstrom, a north-south player with a heavy shot who can add to the organization’s stated mandate of becoming a more difficult team to play against. Goodrow and Dellandrea also fit that mold.
“Really liked him,” said Warsofsky, who coached the Charlotte Checkers from 2018 to 2020 when Grundstrom had his best AHL seasons. “Another competitive guy that’s got some tenacity to him. He’s got some speed, and I think there’s some potential we can probably un-tap.”
