Yeah, no. The Canucks' situation is really not all that similar to the Flames in 2012, because there is really no practical way to trade the Sedins. Such an endeavour would require $12.0 m of cap space from the receiving team. Unlike the Flames with Iginla and Bouwmeester who had some freedom to deal both players, the Sedins must be traded together to the same team.
