How the Quinn Hughes Trade Could Reshape the NHL Power Landscape Forever
Boeser, the team’s longest tenured player, has planted roots in Vancouver. He has a no-movement clause and seems like the kind of loyal player that would want to stay for the long haul. What about Garland and Demko, though? Neither has any trade protection because their contract extensions don’t kick in until next season. Will the Canucks shop those two as the rebuild/retool continues?
Winner: The Eastern Conference
Hughes’ initial preference was to be traded somewhere East. It’s perhaps why teams like the Red Wings, Devils, Capitals, and Flyers dominated some of the early Hughes trade rumors. While those teams may be disappointed to miss out on Hughes, many are at least catching a break by not having him join a rival within the conference.
