The Vancouver Canucks , despite winning both games since trading Quinn Hughes and seemingly kicking off their retool/rebuild, are still at the bottom of the standings and very much should be looking to trade more players this season. While a number of names have been mentioned, a more likely and easier to move forward that the Canucks could part with is Drew O'Connor. David Pagnotta said, "Drew O'Connor has another year left on his contract with some no-trade protection. He's a player I believ...
The Minnesota Wild gave up a haul of former first round picks to acquire Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks . One of those players was Marco Rossi, their top-6 center. Even though he was injured at the time of the trade and the Wild had been rolling along without him, their center depth was already their weak point prior to the trade. The Wild, who are third in the league in points, have Joel Eriksson Ek, Danila Yurov, Ryan Hartman, and Nico Sturm down the middle. Yurov, in particular, is...

Someone thought four games in six days was a good idea.
The New Jersey Devils came close, but no cigar, in the Quinn Hughes sweepstakes. Now we're learning more about what went down, and how much the Devils were in the game. New Jersey was Hughes' first choice, as he has professed a desire to play with his brothers Luke & Jack, who are both with the Devils. But the Vancouver Canucks ' first choice of a return from New Jersey was quickly turned down. Insider Greg Wyshynski of ESPN reports that Vancouver first asked for top-line center&nb...
Lukas Reichel’s fresh start in Vancouver has already hit another dead end. According to Ben Kuzma of The Province , the Vancouver Canucks are once again willing to entertain trade offers for the former first-round pick, just months after acquiring him from the Chicago Blackhawks . What was supposed to be a change-of-scenery opportunity has instead turned into another reminder of how far Reichel still is from becoming the top-six scorer many projected him to be. With the Canucks ent...
Another low-event slog at MSG made one thing painfully clear: The Rangers have defense, grit, and structure—but almost no one who can actually move the needle.
GM Jim Nill and the Dallas Stars have never been ones to be outdone in the trade market. If they want something, they usually go out and get it. The blockbuster Mikko Rantanen addition at last year's deadline is a prime example of that. Now, after watching division rival Minnesota Wild make their bold big splash of acquiring Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks, insider Jeff Marek suggested on Daily Faceoff's DFO Rundown that Nill will respond with a big move of his own. He mentions t...

The New Jersey Devils , as we know, came up short in their bid to land their third Hughes brother, as the Vancouver Canucks took the package offered by the Minnesota Wild . But this doesn't mean that the Devils didn't try to get this— and other deals —done to this point in the season. In fact, reports insider Elliotte Friedman on his 32 Thoughts podcast on Monday, GM Tom Fitzgerald has had trouble consummating at least two deals he's tried to make due to no-trade clauses his players hold. ...
The Quinn Hughes blockbuster is done, and now the “what almost happened” stories are spilling out fast. One of the wildest is the Washington Capitals were reportedly in real conversations with the Vancouver Canucks . It was a serious, franchise shaking type of package, with Connor McMichael, prospect Cole Hutson, and two first round picks all mentioned as pieces Washington was willing to talk about.

The Minnesota Wild dropped a bombshell on the NHL on Friday night when they acquired Quinn Hughes in a blockbuster trade with the Vancouver Canucks.

Conor Garland is among the many Vancouver Canucks players who have come up in the rumor mill this season. If the Canucks officially shop Garland, look for these three teams to be in the mix for his services. Tampa Bay Lightning The Lightning are never afraid to make a big move, and they should be aggressive again this season. A player like Garland could grab their attention, as he would have the potential to give their top six a major boost if acquired. Boston Bruins Th...
Sometimes, goalies win the games. Per Natural Stat Trick, Jacob Markstrom only faced 1.49 expected goals, while Thatcher Demko faced 2.75. Markstrom allowed two, and Demko allowed one. Breaking it down even further, Jacob Markstrom made three saves on four high-danger shots, only facing two medium-danger shots. The goal by Buium, off of Brenden Dillon’s […]
It only took blue-chip prospect Zeev Buium 60 seconds to make his mark in his first game with the Vancouver Canucks . And it just kept getting better. The key piece in the return from the Minnesota Wild in the Quinn Hughes trade began his Canucks' career with a bang — two points on the power play in a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils (you know... the team that was supposed to get Quinn Hughes). Buium was immediately handed the quarterbacking duties on the first power play unit, and picked up...

The Vancouver Canucks made a couple more moves on Sunday, however, both of them were internal transactions. The Canucks announced they've placed Elias Pettersson on injured reserve, and they've also activated Marco Rossi ahead of their game against the New Jersey Devils. Pettersson hits the shelve thanks to an upper-body injury. General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Elias Pettersson has been placed on IR (retroactive to Dec. 5) and F Marco Rossi has been activated from IR. &mdas...
Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin isn't giving into the false narratives. There's been plenty of buzz around the team after Quinn Hughes told management a few weeks ago he was not going to re-sign, and while the trade talks picked up in a major way, Allvin doesn't feel his team has a culture issue. Not one bit. Allvin spoke to the media and opened up about what's been going on in Vancouver lately: I don't believe (we have a culture problem)," Allvin told reporters Friday. "I don'...
The Vancouver Canucks have officially traded Quinn Hughes and ended that saga, getting a haul from the Minnesota Wild in return. As far as returns go, this was the value of four first-round picks, so it was solid and more than any other team seemed willing to pay. So it brings in young pieces that could fit in the lineup for many years to come and grow with a team that's still trying to retool, even after trading their franchise player. There will be more trades from the Canucks due to where t...
