Trade Reaction: Sharks badly overpay to acquire Jannik Hansen

Doug Wilson got his winger at a high price on Tuesday evening. The Sharks sent Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional fourth round pick to the Vancouver Canucks for Jannik Hansen, a 30-year-old left winger with another year and change left on his deal who has 13 points in 28 games this season.

So about that scoring winger the Sharks needed: they didn’t get him. To get Hansen, San Jose gave up its first-round pick from the 2014 NHL draft and a pick that could become a first in the 2017 draft if the Sharks win the Stanley Cup.
