Torn on this one. You gotta assume that BG has already been assured that he signs an extension by his reps. If not, he's an absolute fool. For the trade itself:

I'm ok losing LO (they clearly didn't rate him) and MR (same based on how they handled his contract situation). The one that makes me a little nervous is Buium. He's shown a lot of flashes but also some growing pains.

I'm curious how the locker room views this. It's a 'win now' move. Is this the Sprug ticket out in the offseason?

It's a big swing by BG but not the direction I thought they would go.

Isn’t Hughes basically the very best possible outcome for Buium?

What are the odds of him even being 75% of him?

The absolute best for Buium is well short of Quinn Hughes. Hughes is a franchise changing player. Buium could basically become Faber with a little more offense and a little less defense.

The Wild reportedly topped a huge offer from Washington for Hughes

The proposed Capitals package, according to D’Amico’s RG colleague, Jimmy Murphy, could have included 24-year-old forward Connor McMichael, 19-year-old defenseman Cole Hutson, another prospect, and two first-round picks.

The Devils made a pretty strong push too.
