One day after seeing Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci get traded to the Dallas Stars, an already thinned-out San Jose Sharks team was forced to pick up the pieces Sunday and figure out the best way forward without their leading scorer and arguably their best defensive defenseman.

The first and second teams were selected by broadcasters, national, local and NHL.com writers who have covered the respective teams, in addition to select former players. The six players voted to each First Team will be on the ballot for the NHL All Quarter-Century Team that will be chosen via a fan vote that will start in February.

It is no secret Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci were well respected in the San Jose Sharks locker room. Players were clearly in a down mood and gave their reactions to the trade after practice on Sunday.

Fabian Zetterlund returned to San Jose Sharks practice on Monday and opened up about Mikael Granlund getting traded to the Dallas Stars.
