Quinn Hughes just got traded and it might change the NHL forever. A generational defenseman, a massive Minnesota swing, and a Canucks reset nobody expected. How did this happen, who really won, and what does it mean for the Wild, the West, and Hughes’ future? This deal shifts everything.

Holy fuck this trade happened a week ago. Move on. Canucks are doing great after the trade, so is minny. No one is looking back on this trade
Vancouver enjoy the rewards as well.
Canucks screwed themselves for trading horvat and keeping miller. Than signing Pettersson on that ugly contract. If they just waited till the off season, probably would have been 3-4 mil less.
I just stopped wathcing after you said bitchard is a top defensive in the league
If it wasn’t for the USA hockey and bill Guérin connection I think he ends up in jersey. I think Guérin convinces him to stay though
Well, it was fun while it lasted, but unfortunately Rossi aint developing into the superstar I wanted him to be 😔
The extremely rare win-win trade. Which is wild (lmao) to think when one of those teams loses Quinn Hughes
You are not even mentioning matt boldy! Boldy is a star in his own right so Hughes doesn't just have kirillionaire he has boldy and Brock Faber as his d partner the dude has it made.
It won't change anything. Life goes on. It's just another trade
No it won't. Fuck off with this
Quinn who?!! Canucks are 4 and 0 since
What we're watching in real time, is new life for the Wild! No longer restricted from the Parise and Suter buyouts anymore, GM Bill Guerin and the Wild are on a mission! Let's enjoy the journey together, and see how everything goes!
…unless he gets injured.
been waiting for this
Love seeing puck handling elite defensemen, they are so fun to watch them work their magic.
Canucks since this Trade: 4-0-0
if the wild can get outta the first round, could be a run here.
Wild could keep this up for a bit but Colorado would have to really stumble for Minny to catch up.
the music is the only reason i dont watch your videos. Doesnt really fit in a analysis for me.
The 3 players Vancouver got Are playing good as well worked out for both team's
There is something brewing in Minnesota?
Bill Guerin Sucks
1st line center is all we are missing… Maybe a decent 2nd line winger
But vancouver just did a typical vancouver things. Fail to hold on to another established star and hover at mediocrity. Team will never go anywhere. The canucks are a team where players can come get some ice time and get recognized then move on to bigger better things….
People always seem to ignore the fact that Hughes is basically the best defensive defenseman in the league as well. His advanced stats really are far better than everyone, including Makar. Makar does do better with blocks and take aways but he also turns the puck over more than Hughes does. There was an excellent video on youtube (though a little old) that showed Hughes absolutely dominated all the other D men in the NHL defensively. Last season wasn't quite as good, but he's still the best because of possession and expected goals.
I'm going to miss watching him on the regular, but all in all I think the Canucks did quite well with the return. The new guys are playing great but we'll see after the usual "trade bump" motivation settles down. Still if Buium can become a first pairing guy, I will consider that a win.
Quinn's comment about "remembering teams that didn't step up" in the trade (hello NJ), shows he will most certainly be open to resigning with the Wild. I say that as a canuck fan. Our stupid media and fanbase just never gives that shit a rest and pretty much is responsible for driving him out of town with the negativity. But the "play with his brothers" thing was way over hyped. I'm sure he cares, but not as much as people think. NJ could have made it work somehow but they weren't serious about it. You can tell that pissed him off a bit.
its gonna be alright canucks fans, we have Liam Ohgren.
Dahlin is better!
Good luck keeping him from playing with his brothers in a couple years.
Ummmm the Wild are gonna go after Jack and Luke, New Jersey is a dumpster, no NHL players say yeh New Jersey, if Quinn loves Minny, and he will, and they’re winning, and they are and will continue to, there’s already talk about the Bros playing in Minny, not NJ …….. Jersey 🤮
McDavo and Bouch. LOL ….. not 5v5.
The wild’s hockey IQ is #1 now
no it wont lol stupid title
As a Canucks fan I think there is currently a deep immense sadness to the trade regardless of how it seems to be a win-win situation. Hughes got me back into hockey after I was so ashamed at the fan reaction in 2011 as a kid that I gave up being a fan.
The worst part is not that he left, it is that he could have stayed, if there wasn't a continual failure on management's part to build a team that could help him thrive.
tonight is the test tonight of how good will it be
Hughes signs with Chicago and get McKenna in the draft
Minny is not going to do well with this mix of fast offensive defensemen. it cant and wont work. they will not win a cup with this group!
Quinn Hughes failed as the captain of the Canucks, he lost his locker room and in turn the team tanked. He never should have been the captain of this team. He is a great player no doubt. I think he has the ability to be the best player in the NHL and in a way he already is. Hopefully he doesn't dawn a C in Mini. He doesn't have the tools deal with the hard times with out taking all on himself. Conflict isn't something kids today understand how to manage off the ice. In the end Quinn failed as captain and was fired.
Watching this after the Avs dog walked Quinnesota in St. Paul.
