I really like this trade for Vancouver. Young pieces contributing now with upside, an additional 1st round pick...yeah that's just some good work.
...and I oddly think they'll actually be better from here on out for the rest of the season because of it. The very visible distraction is gone, and Rossi and Buium have the ability to make a tangible impact for the team this year. They just got two young good players (+) who are going to roll into that Vancouver room knowing they're wanted and they can just run on the positivity.
Hate the Canucks, but excellent job here by them. Good on Minnesota too because they got a top-5 defenceman in the league.

I also agree. The biggest distraction on the market is now gone, not that they're the same tier but teams who didn't land Hughes may pivot and pay more attention to Raz who is having a banger of a season. This could also begin an arms race here in the West.
