Report: Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp could be traded.

According to a report from Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune, the Blackhawks have discussed the possibility of trading Patrick Sharp. Capitals head coach Barry Trotz recently told the media that he didn't feel there was a real difference maker out there available on the trade market, but this could potentially change things. However the move from Chicago's perspective seem a bit bizarre given the injury to superstar forward Patrick Kane. There hasn't been any word on what the Blackhawks would ask back in return, but this would likely be the first step in a much bigger deal for Chicago. Stan Bowman recently found himself with some unexpected cap space, and he has already made a move acquiring Kimmo Timonen from the Flyers, it appears he's not even close to being done.
