The Philadelphia Flyers were a rumored landing spot for Quinn Hughes but now that he’s off to the Minnesota Wild in a blockbuster trade, we’re getting a clearer picture.
The Minnesota Wild decided to shock the hockey world by acquiring world-class defenseman Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night and the package they had to send makes it completely clear that the Philadelphia Flyers never really had a chance to get the player.
Wild general manager Bill Guerin sent hotshot rookie defenseman Zeev Buium (we’re all familiar with him), center Marco Rossi, winger Liam Ohgren, and a 2026 first-round pick off to Vancouver to get Hughes on his team for roughly 18 months.
