Whether or not the Vancouver Canucks decide to trade Dan Hamhuis is anybody’s guess. Whether or not Hamhuis will waive his no-trade clause is a whole different story. But perhaps he should.
On February 28, 2015, the Arizona Coyotes traded centre Antoine Vermette to the Chicago Blackhawks for a 2015 first-round pick and defenceman Klas Dahlbeck. One year later, Dahlbeck is a regular on the Coyotes’ blue line. The first-round pick turned out to be 30th overall and was used on WHL forward Nick Merkley. As to Vermette, he is still the Coyotes’ first-line centre.
