Kevin Bieksa traded to Anaheim in Pacific Division stunner (Puck Daddy)

Hey remember when Kevin Bieksa was going to be traded to the Sharks? It almost happened, but the Sharks wouldn't give up a second rounder in the 2015 NHL Draft.

So the Vancouver Canucks did the proper thing, which was to spite them by trading Bieksa for a 2016 second-round pick and sending him to the Sharks' rivals. Hence, Bieksa is now a defenseman for the Anaheim Ducks.

From the Ducks:

The Anaheim Ducks announced today that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has acquired defenseman Kevin Bieksa from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2016 NHL Draft.
