Sharks acquire prospect Thrun from Ducks

The San Jose Sharks acquired defenseman Henry Thrun from the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday for a 2024 third-round pick.

Thrun has 26 points in 28 contests with Harvard University this season, his last in the NCAA. The 21-year-old informed the Ducks earlier in February that he won't sign with the team.

"Henry is a very good two-way defenseman with high character and leadership skills," Sharks general manager Mike Grier said. "He was named captain for Harvard this year and has a solid pedigree as a player, earning All-American honors last season after helping guide Harvard to an ECAC Championship."

A left-shot blue-liner, Thrun is listed at 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds. He won gold at the 2021 World Junior Championships with Team USA.

Thrun won't be eligible to sign an entry-level contract until his collegiate campaign is complete. Harvard commences its postseason March 10.

Anaheim drafted Thrun in the fourth round in 2019.
