US EditionQuinn Hughes Complete a Wild Few Days with a Goal in First Game with Minnesota
The Minnesota Wild traded three first-round picks and prospects to acquire Norris Trophy winner Quinn Hughes, aiming to boost their Stanley Cup contention, Wild officials said.
- In a franchise-record move, the Wild acquired Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks, sending Marco Rossi, Zeev Buium, Liam Ohgren and a first-round draft pick to Vancouver.
- Facing roster turmoil, the Vancouver Canucks traded Quinn Hughes to maximize return as they believed he might not re-sign and wanted to respect his wish to play near brothers Jack and Luke.
- On paper, Quinn Hughes arrives as the NHL's Norris Trophy winner in 2024 with two goals and 21 assists through 26 games while leading the league in average ice time at 27 minutes, 26 seconds on a six-year contract.
- With Hughes arriving, the Minnesota Wild immediately upgrade into a legit contender, and Hughes will debut Sunday at Grand Casino Arena with Bill Guerin flying in Saturday to pick him up.
- Looking ahead, the Minnesota Wild can offer Quinn Hughes an extension starting July 1 and expect to retain him despite Kirill Kaprizov's long-term deal kicking in next year.
