How the Quinn Hughes Trade Could Reshape the NHL Power Landscape Forever
Instead, Hughes avoids all that nonsense and joins a team that is tied for the sixth-best points percentage in the NHL. He’s all but guaranteed just the third playoff appearance of his career. In Vancouver, Hughes was expected to do all the heavy lifting to manufacture offense by himself. In Minnesota, he’ll be surrounded by elite offensive weapons to pass to in Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy.
When Hughes becomes extension-eligible in the summer, he’ll have the leverage to command whatever price he wants from the Wild, who you’d assume will move heaven and earth to extend him after the haul they gave up to acquire him. And if Hughes doesn’t want to stay in Minnesota for whatever reason? He can still call the shots and become a free agent in 2027.
