Canucks trade Quinn Hughes to Wild
Digest more
Blackhawks forward Jason Dickinson is creating some chatter as a trade candidate, so let's look at three teams that could target him.
It remains to be seen if more significant trade activity occurs this month, especially with the NHL's holiday roster freeze from 11:59 pm ET on Dec. 19, 2025, to 12:01 am ET on Dec. 28, 2025. Given those two recent major deals, we decided to see what each team would do if the trade deadline were today.
Will the Devils let go of Dougie Hamilton (and another player) via a trade following the team's failed bid to acquire Quinn Hughes.
Rust would have the potential to be a home run of an addition for the Sabres if acquired. After setting career highs with 31 goals and 65 points in 71 games last season, the 33-year-old winger has posted 11 goals and 27 points in 29 games so far this season. With numbers like these, he would give Buffalo's offense a major boost if brought in.
Dom Luszczyszyn: Finally, after years of speculation between the pipes, the Oilers got their guy. Apparently, their guy is Tristan Jarry, a goalie who cleared waivers less than a year ago. That the Oilers traded their current starter, Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick to make it happen is genuinely baffling.
The 2025-26 NHL trade season has officially begun!
Hughes, who was tied with Miro Heiskanen of the Dallas Stars for the defenseman lead in power-play points (12) and tied for 11th at the position in points (23 in 26 games) this season prior to the trade, has had three seasons of 30-plus power-play points, including a career-high 38 in 2023-24.
Quinn Hughes is officially a member of the Minnesota Wild -- and we try to make sense of it in the latest edition of the NHL Power Rankings.
Wyshynski highlighted Hughes’ value, citing his production since 2022 and placing him among the NHL’s best. Hughes won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenseman in 2024 while making two All-Star appearances in his career. The ESPN analyst outlined four possible outcomes for the Canucks as they approach the March 6 deadline.
