Wild deal Addison to Sharks, add Bogosian from Bolts

The Minnesota Wild reshaped their defensive depth on Wednesday with a pair of trades.

First, they sent blue-liner Calen Addison to the San Jose Sharks for prospect Adam Raska and a fifth-round draft pick in 2026. Shortly after, they acquired veteran Zach Bogosian from the Tampa Bay Lightning for a seventh-rounder in 2025.

Bogosian, 33, is in the final year of a three-year contract carrying an $850,000 cap hit. He's gone pointless in four games this season, but has 787 career contests under his belt split between the Atlanta Thrashers, Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Lightning.

Addison is under contract this season at an $825,000 cap hit before becoming a restricted free agent for the second consecutive year.

The 23-year-old has managed five assists in 12 games this season while averaging 16:48 per contest. Addison is likely to take on a bigger role for the last-place Sharks, and he showed he's capable of creating offense with 29 points - including 18 on the power play - in 62 games in 2022-23.
