Fabian Zetterlund, a former New Jersey Devils player, recalls the moment he was traded to the San Jose Sharks during a cold Sunday. Inside, he was receiving text messages from teammates hoping he wouldn't be the one moved, as rumors about the Devils acquiring Timo Meier surfaced.
After receiving the call confirming his trade, Zetterlund quickly packed up and joined the Sharks, where he found more opportunities to play top-line minutes, significantly boosting his performance. In his first season, he recorded a career-high of 44 points.
