The Minnesota Wild acquired defenseman Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks on Friday, potentially elevating their Stanley Cup contention. The 26-year-old Norris Trophy winner brings elite metrics in scoring, possession and skating to pair with forwards like Kirill Kaprizov. Hughes is set to debut against the Boston Bruins on Sunday.
Die Minnesota Wild empfangen die Montreal Canadiens am Montagabend und setzen den Fokus auf Verteidiger Quinn Hughes' acht Spiele lange Punktserie seit seinem Dezember-Transfer von Vancouver. Der 26-Jährige möchte sie auf neun ausdehnen und einen Franchise-Rekord ausgleichen. Beide Teams haben Spieler für die Olympischen Winterspiele 2026 in Milano Cortina nominiert.

Following Quinn Hughes' trade from the Vancouver Canucks to the Minnesota Wild on December 12—as covered in the first article of this series—Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar and new Wild blueliner Quinn Hughes top NHL EDGE metrics in skating and shooting ahead of Sunday's Central Division matchup at Xcel Energy Center. Makar leads in points and long-range shots; Hughes excels on the power play.
The Vancouver Canucks are listening to trade offers on veteran players as they navigate a disappointing 9-12-2 start to the season. Management aims to get younger without a full rebuild, but potential moves could jeopardize efforts to retain captain Quinn Hughes. Hughes, entering the final year of his contract next season, has expressed interest in possibly joining his brothers with the New Jersey Devils.
