This week, a quiet time in the NHL rumor mill, a simple Twitter poll got people talking very passionately. Jack Hughes became a superstar in the NHL last season. He helped carry the New Jersey Devils to the playoffs, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since 2018. Hughes broke the Devils franchise scoring record with 99 points.
Over in Vancouver, the national media didn’t pay much attention after they fired Bruce Boudreau. The Canucks were pretty bad all season, and none of the stars were available in trade because they want to turn it around next season. The biggest reason the Canucks want to turn it around is Elias Pettersson is entering his prime.
