The New Jersey Devils , as we know, came up short in their bid to land their third Hughes brother, as the Vancouver Canucks took the package offered by the Minnesota Wild . But this doesn't mean that the Devils didn't try to get this— and other deals —done to this point in the season. In fact, reports insider Elliotte Friedman on his 32 Thoughts podcast on Monday, GM Tom Fitzgerald has had trouble consummating at least two deals he's tried to make due to no-trade clauses his players hold. ...
The Quinn Hughes blockbuster is done, and now the “what almost happened” stories are spilling out fast. One of the wildest is the Washington Capitals were reportedly in real conversations with the Vancouver Canucks . It was a serious, franchise shaking type of package, with Connor McMichael, prospect Cole Hutson, and two first round picks all mentioned as pieces Washington was willing to talk about.
Capitals’ Rumored Quinn Hughes Package Was Enormous
The key detail is that this was d...
The Minnesota Wild dropped a bombshell on the NHL on Friday night when they acquired Quinn Hughes in a blockbuster trade with the Vancouver Canucks. One of the best defensemen and arguably a top-10 player in hockey, Hughes will draw all of the headlines when he joins Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy i...

Conor Garland is among the many Vancouver Canucks players who have come up in the rumor mill this season. If the Canucks officially shop Garland, look for these three teams to be in the mix for his services. Tampa Bay Lightning The Lightning are never afraid to make a big move, and they should be aggressive again this season. A player like Garland could grab their attention, as he would have the potential to give their top six a major boost if acquired. Boston Bruins Th...
Sometimes, goalies win the games. Per Natural Stat Trick, Jacob Markstrom only faced 1.49 expected goals, while Thatcher Demko faced 2.75. Markstrom allowed two, and Demko allowed one. Breaking it down even further, Jacob Markstrom made three saves on four high-danger shots, only facing two medium-danger shots. The goal by Buium, off of Brenden Dillon’s […]
It only took blue-chip prospect Zeev Buium 60 seconds to make his mark in his first game with the Vancouver Canucks . And it just kept getting better. The key piece in the return from the Minnesota Wild in the Quinn Hughes trade began his Canucks' career with a bang — two points on the power play in a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils (you know... the team that was supposed to get Quinn Hughes). Buium was immediately handed the quarterbacking duties on the first power play unit, and picked up...

The Vancouver Canucks made a couple more moves on Sunday, however, both of them were internal transactions. The Canucks announced they've placed Elias Pettersson on injured reserve, and they've also activated Marco Rossi ahead of their game against the New Jersey Devils. Pettersson hits the shelve thanks to an upper-body injury. General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Elias Pettersson has been placed on IR (retroactive to Dec. 5) and F Marco Rossi has been activated from IR. &mdas...
Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin isn't giving into the false narratives. There's been plenty of buzz around the team after Quinn Hughes told management a few weeks ago he was not going to re-sign, and while the trade talks picked up in a major way, Allvin doesn't feel his team has a culture issue. Not one bit. Allvin spoke to the media and opened up about what's been going on in Vancouver lately: I don't believe (we have a culture problem)," Allvin told reporters Friday. "I don'...
The Vancouver Canucks have officially traded Quinn Hughes and ended that saga, getting a haul from the Minnesota Wild in return. As far as returns go, this was the value of four first-round picks, so it was solid and more than any other team seemed willing to pay. So it brings in young pieces that could fit in the lineup for many years to come and grow with a team that's still trying to retool, even after trading their franchise player. There will be more trades from the Canucks due to where t...

The Vancouver Canucks listened to trade offers for a few weeks on defenceman Quinn Hughes, and from the sounds of it, there were quite a few deals to mull over. According to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, six teams made offers for Hughes, with of course, the one Jim Rutherford ended up accepting coming from Bill Guerin and the Minnesota Wild. Confirmed teams that tried on Quinn Hughes: New Jersey, Detroit, Rangers; and to some degree, Carolina and Buffalo. https://t.co/fRQnTxnmCC — Pierre LeBrun (@Pierr...
Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin made the biggest splash on the trade market that we will see this NHL season, acquiring Quinn Hughes in a blockbuster deal with the Vancouver Canucks . But sources say he is not done dealing just yet. The cost of fortifying the blueline with a Norris Trophy winner—the second-best defender in the league—is losing a top-six center in the process. At least, that's the role that Marco Rossi will certainly take on with the Canucks, as well as a spot on the top po...
With the Vancouver Canucks ' acquisition of legitimate NHL center in Marco Rossi, Lukas Reichel's days out West have come to an end. Mercifully. After 14 games with Vancouver, in which he recorded just one assist and a minus-5 rating in an average of 13 minutes of ice time, Reichel has been placed on waivers by the Canucks. General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Lukas Reichel has been placed on waivers and designated non-roster waiver status. — Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) Decemb...

The State of Hockey wakes up on Saturday to the rumbling aftershocks of the Quinn Hughes trade. And in taking the temperature based on comments on Hockey Wilderness, elsewhere on the internet, and personal text messages, it seems one of those shocks is of the sticker variety.

The Nashville Predators are tied for second-last in the NHL and it doesn't look good moving forward. They have movable pieces and even if the standings are pretty close, they have to accept defeat and move on like the Vancouver Canucks are doing. To do that, one of the players that should be traded is Jonathan Marchessault. Nick Kypreos said, "Jonathan Marchessault is...a guy that comes a lot cheaper than Stamkos, and I think there's a tremendous amount of appeal to add more scoring with a guy...
The Quinn Hughes era in Vancouver is over, and just getting started in Minnesota. The Canucks traded to the Midwest Wild on Friday night in a deal that has shaken the Western Conference landscape.

A new era for the Vancouver Canucks is officially here, as they traded superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild in a massive swap. With the Canucks officially committing to this retool, we should expect to see more of their players traded before the deadline. Due to this, let's look at three Canucks who could be traded next. Kiefer Sherwood Sherwood is a big trade candidate on the Canucks due to his pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) status. He is exactly the hard...

The Boston Bruins are not joining the race for Quinn Hughes, even as half the league circles the Vancouver Canucks star. According to James Murphy of RG.org , team sources say Boston does not view itself as a realistic fit for a Hughes blockbuster and is instead locked in on adding scoring help up front. With Charlie McAvoy already anchoring the blue line and limited assets to spend, the Bruins see a top end forward as a far bigger priority than paying the steep price required to l...
