How the Quinn Hughes Trade Could Reshape the NHL Power Landscape Forever
Fans will remember both of those management groups and ownership (they reportedly refused a proper rebuild in the late 2010s and allowed Benning to be general manager for way too long) for wasting some of Hughes’ best years and ultimately losing him.
Winner: Minnesota Wild
The Wild have suffered a whopping seven first-round playoff defeats in the last decade. They haven’t made the Western Conference Final since 2003 and have never appeared in a Stanley Cup Final. Adding Hughes, a top-10 player in the NHL, is the kind of game-changing acquisition that could finally help them go on a deep playoff run. On paper, a team led by Kaprizov, Hughes, Boldy, Brock Faber, Jesper Wallstedt, and Joel Eriksson Ek profiles as a true Stanley Cup contender.
