It sounds like the Canucks are very interested in the idea of trading up to take Jack Hughes and unite him with his brother Quinn and have reportedly checked in with the Devils about what it would take to make that happen. What sort of a trade would have to happen (this is not going to happen) for the Devils to ship out the No. 1 pick? [The Athletic ($)]

The unthinkable has happened. The Blue Jackets, who had never won a playoff series before this one, have swept the Lightning, winners of an NHL-record 62 games this season. That might just be the worst playoff collapse we’ll ever see.
