/Peterborough’s Nolan Burke is headed to the Golden State as he was traded from the Nashville Predators to the San Jose Sharks as part of a deal involving top goalie prospect Yaroslav Askarov on Friday afternoon.
The Predators sent Burke, Askarov and a 2025 third-round pick in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick, centre David Edstrom, and goaltender Magnus Chrona.
The undrafted centreman signed his three-year entry-level contract with the Predators on Nov. 14, 2022.
Burke spent his entire OHL career with the Sarnia Sting, hitting the 50-goal mark in his last season.
Only four other Sarnia Sting players have broken the 50-mark in OHL history during the regular season. Reid Boucher in 2012-13 (62), Steven Stamkos in 2007-08 (58), Ivan Novoseltsev in 1998-99 (57) and Jon Sim in back-to-back seasons from 1995-97 (56).
Burke spent 2016-18 with the U15 AAA and U16 AAA Peterborough Petes.
