Will the Devils let go of Dougie Hamilton (and another player) via a trade following the team's failed bid to acquire Quinn Hughes.
Also, defenseman Brock Faber -- who's losing his top power-play gig to Hughes -- remains worthy enough as a fantasy performer otherwise with the Wild. Let's turn our attention to Vancouver then, where two new members of the Canucks merit greater attention.
The Rangers reportedly put in an offer on the star defenseman, but it's unlikely New York had the trade capital to pose a realistic chance.
Captain Jared Spurgeon (power play), Kirill Kaprizov (team-leading 19th and 20th), Ryan Hartman (second in as many games) and Matt Boldy (18th) supplied the other goals, but it was Faber who appeared to benefit most from Hughes’ arrival.
Hughes and Faber ignite the Wild's blue line, showcasing immediate chemistry and shutting down rushes. Their debut hints at a future elite NHL pairing.
