James Carey Lauder-Imagn Images via Reuters Connect The Minnesota Wild are tied with Utah for first place in the Central Division at 6-3-2, and they open a back-to-back in Seattle on Saturday before Quinn Hughes makes his return to Vancouver. The biggest news in the division on Friday did not involve the Wild directly, though. After a standoff that lasted all offseason, the Winnipeg Jets finally traded their three-time Vezina Trophy winner. The move takes a familiar problem out of the Central for Minnesota. But according to the Wild s top insider, it could matter even more for two other stories hanging over the team right now. Winnipeg Jets trade Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils Darren Dreger (TSN) was first to report the trade call was complete late Friday morning, and the Devils made it official shortly after.
