“He definitely deserved the cheers,” Schenn said. “I don’t know if there’s really much reason to be negative as far as what he’s done for the organization.”
As the video ended, Hughes skated out from the bench and raised his stick in salute as both his current and former teammates tapped their sticks on the boards.
“I was just proud,” Hughes said. “And obviously I was here for 6 1/2 years, tried my best. And got some cheers there. That was cool for me.”
The blockbuster trade saw Vancouver acquire Marco Rossi and Liam Ohgren, defenseman Zeev Buium and the Wild’s first-round pick in the 2026 NHL entry draft.
