The Vancouver Canucks traded their captain, Quinn Hughes, to the Minnesota Wild, marking a significant shift in their rebuilding path.

Hughes is expected to make his debut with the Wild this Sunday against the Boston Bruins. The trade comes after a quiet period of discussion, avoiding public drama. The Canucks official social media account thanked Hughes for his leadership and unforgettable moments. Hughes, an elite puck-moving defenseman, will immediately become the Wilds top option on the blue line, expected to run the first power play unit and see his offensive numbers rise playing alongside star forward Kirill Kaprizov.
