Jannik Hansen is headed to San Jose.
The Vancouver Canucks traded the forward to the Sharks late Tuesday, the team announced. The Canucks acquired forward prospect Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional fourth-round 2017 pick in exchange.
If SJ wins the Cup, the conditional fourth round pick becomes a first-round pick for the Canucks. 4th round or 1st round, no in between.

Goldobin will join the Canucks on Wednesday in San Jose, Vancouver general manager Jim Benning said. The former first-round pick in 2014 has 15 goals and 41 points in 46 games in the AHL this season.
Hansen appeared in 28 games with the Canucks this season, recording six goals and seven assists. The 30-year-old is signed through next season and carries a $2.5-million cap hit.
