The Minnesota Wild made an all-in move for one of the NHL’s best players in his prime, acquiring defenseman Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks in a blockbuster trade — their boldest action yet toward ending a decade-long skid of playoff series defeats.

"We all play hockey, and we know it might happen. But I'm really happy for everything Minnesota has done for me," Rossi said.

Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the club has acquired forwards Marco Rossi and Liam Öhgren, defenceman Zeev Buium and a first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for defenceman Quinn Hughes.
