The playoffs seem just about impossible for the Vancouver Canucks at this point, leading to the conclusion that selling at the deadline is the best thing they could do. Defenceman Dan Hamhuis and forwards Radim Vrbata are the players most frequently talked about, but Alexandre Burrows has also been mentioned in trade rumblings. Now 10 days away from the deadline, the Canucks might have found a first trade partner in the San Jose Sharks.
Dreger: #SJSharks "are pushing pretty hard" on trying to add top-5 D via trade. Polak, Hamhuis noted.
