Wouldn't be shocked if they play better in the short term though...that couldn't have been easy on the lockeroom, best player is like nah, I'm out.

I think they will lose a lot now. Hughes was playing 30 minutes a night and was one of their best players stats wise every night.
You don't just lose your best player and get better. It is like how people say if we trade Kadri and Andersson we will not be much worse, but I could not disagree more. The bottom would fall off if we trade our best center and best defender who are both top 20 in the NHL in points over the last month.
