Why the Minnesota Wild’s Future Hinges on a Center They Haven’t Even Pursued Yet
Everyone praised Guerin for acquiring defenseman Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks. Guerin stepped up to the plate and hit a homerun, sending Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Öhgren, and a first-round pick. Quinn Hughes paid dividends and more for the Wild, getting to the second round in a tough Central Division.
Hughes carried the load offensively and defensively for the Wild, averaging over 30 minutes a night and recording 15 points (four goals and 11 assists) in 11 games. That is all well and good, but the Minnesota Wild could not match the Avalanche’s depth down the middle.
