Quinn Hughes being traded to the West is a Good Thing for the Penguins

The domino finally dropped on Friday night as superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes was traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the Minnesota Wild in a blockbuster trade. And the Penguins should be thankful that he was not traded into the Eastern Conference or Metropolitan Division.

Quinn Hughes is one of the best current defenseman in the NHL and it was rumored that he was going to be traded to the New Jersey Devils for a while. It was rumored that he wanted to be reunited with his brothers Jack and Luke, but that was not the case Friday night.
