Two former Vancouver Canucks defensemen were traded on Wednesday afternoon, as Vincent Desharnais and Luke Schenn were moved before the March 7 Trade Deadline. Desharnais, formerly with the Pittsburgh Penguins, was moved to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a 2028 fifth-round pick. Schenn will appear to replace Desharnais in Pittsburgh, as he and Tommy Novak were traded from the Nashville Predators to the Penguins in exchange for Michael Bunting.
