For Episode 6 of PuckPedia Cap Central, Hart Levine and Keith Kavanaugh dive into the 2 massive trades in the NHL. Quinn Hughes was traded on Friday to the Minnesota Wild from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren, and a 2026 1st Round Pick (4:45). This trade sent shockwaves around the NHL.

Keith & Hart break it down from a salary cap perspective, what this means for a potential Quinn Hughes extension in Minnesota, and what is next for Vancouver as they navigate a rebuild or retool (9:00). They also discuss the article written on ESPN from Greg Wyshynski and Rachel Kryshak and just how close the New Jersey Devils were to getting the 3rd Hughes brother to New Jersey (12:00).

Then they also discuss the big goaltending trade that also broke on Friday, as Tristan Jarry was traded to the Edmonton Oilers from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 2nd Round Pick (19:00). It was a money-in, money-out deal due to Edmonton’s salary cap situation.

It was a nice piece of business by Kyle Dubas, who placed Jarry on waivers 11 months ago where teams could have had him for free. He now gets 2 expiring contracts and a 2nd round pick to add to his war chest of assets (22:00). Edmonton is hopeful Jarry is the missing piece to their Stanley Cup contention window.

They dive into the roster freeze quickly and wrap-up the episode with a user question regarding how the salary cap accrual process works (25:30).
