The Minnesota Wild gave up a haul of former first round picks to acquire Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks . One of those players was Marco Rossi, their top-6 center. Even though he was injured at the time of the trade and the Wild had been rolling along without him, their center depth was already their weak point prior to the trade. The Wild, who are third in the league in points, have Joel Eriksson Ek, Danila Yurov, Ryan Hartman, and Nico Sturm down the middle. Yurov, in particular, is...

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...
