The New Jersey Devils lost the Quinn Hughes trade war. Now that we've delved into why this is devastating, let's talk about why this is a relative good thing.
The New Jersey Devils lost to the Minnesota Wild in the race for Quinn Hughes. They wanted to connect Jack, Luke, and Quinn Hughes in one home, but the Minnesota Wild sent an insane package to Vancouver, one they couldn’t refuse. The Devils couldn’t match that deal without adding Jesper Bratt or Nico Hischier, and that just puts them in as deep a hole as they are right now.
