Vancouver Canucks forward Lukas Reichel has hit the waiver wire, and the San Jose Sharks should consider claiming him.

With Quinn Hughes being traded to the Minnesota Wild in a move that no one saw coming, Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrick Allvin made it clear that the team tried all they could to keep their star player on their roster.

"We all play hockey, and we know it might happen. But I'm really happy for everything Minnesota has done for me," Rossi said.

The Canucks have placed Lukas Reichel on waivers in order to make room for the new pieces acquired in the Quinn Hughes trade.

The Vancouver Canucks begin a five-game road trip in New Jersey on Sunday morning, which will bring them to the Christmas break. Note the 9:30 a.m. PT start time. Friday night was a big news day for the team,
