The Vancouver Canucks could significantly help the Chicago Blackhawks in their quest to repeat as Stanley Cup champions.

The Blackhawks have serious interest in Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis and forward Radim Vrbata, reports TSN's Farhan Lalji.

Hamhuis has a full no-trade clause, and neither he nor his team has revealed whether he'll waive it. The Canucks were reportedly expected to finalize their pre-trade deadline plans at scouting meetings last weekend.

The 33-year-old blue-liner is a pending unrestricted free agent with a cap hit of $4.5 million, and Vrbata is also a pending UFA carrying a hit of $5 million.

The Blackhawks are expected to have around $4.75 million in cap space on deadline day, according to General Fanager.

TSN's Bob McKenzie reported last week the Blackhawks were "very aggressively" looking to add a top-line winger.

I have no doubt you are correct, but I'd be happy to see some brief examples.

He was a project player around the league (including pre-Toews Chicago) for a few years, finally broke out in 2008 with Phoenix (56 pts). Went to Tampa Bay in the throes of the Oren Koules fiasco and sucked so bad he quit the NHL altogether to go back to Europe. Came back to the Coyotes and became pretty much their best scorer during their three playoff years, but was damn near silent the year the Yotes went deep. See also: Ilya Bryzgalov's star turn as Phoenix's goalie, only to sign with the Flyers and be a giant pile of shit.

We got, if not burned, a little singed with Vermette being unable to rise to the occasion and scampering back to Phoenix the first chance he got. I know he put up some points last year as the third Sedin, but Vrbata still has Coyote Stink to me.

I'm only interested if the deal included klattu and nikto.

Had a dream last night that the Hawks traded Toews and Shaw to Minnesota for cap relief. Actually started crying in the dream...which would probably be my reaction IRL if that happened.
