Edvinsson, Danielson and 2 x 1st Rd picks
Retain heavy on Hughes and even take another expiring bad contract back.
I like this package better, but there's no way of knowing if it was ever on the table.
Word is Canucks asked for Edvinsson as part of the package and Detroit said no.
If this is true, it has the advantage for the sanity of Canucks fans of bracketing the market value of Hughes around the League:
as much as the Canucks actually got, but not so much as that.
As it is, I'm fairly confident that they got the most that could be had. Fans always over-value the player that they had. I am reading that not all the Minnesota fans are happy with this deal.

Reading the comments in The Athletic yesterday, the Minnesota fans are all bitching and whining about the trade. The Minnesota fans are idiots.
When Hughes starts creating more space than Kaprizov has ever had in his hockey life, nobody in Minnesota is going to be complaining.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..
