Plus I just don’t think there were many teams with star veteran assets willing to move them mid season for Hughes, unlike the Tkachuk trade which was off season. Calgary was getting a pick, a 115 point winger and a RHS 2D who scored 44 points, plus a lower level prospect. That’s a way easier trade to do off season. I just can think of a similar deal that could be offered mid-season for Hughes.
