He's already made up his mind. Can you blame him?
I don't blame him. Quinn is a winner, winners want to win.
The Vancouver management and ownership seem hellbent on keeping the Canucks organization as the definition of Mid
They will never get better when the management just keep bandaid fixing every issue.
At 27, Petey acts more like a 17-year-old. Hughes' post-game comments are depressing.
It still kills me that Ken Holland took Zadina over Quinn Hughes.
In general I would agree with the guy who said you don't trade a player like Hughes, you fix the team around him, but:
– the Canucks have so many no movement clauses with highly paid players that fixing the team isn't an easy task
– their time to do it is very limited and
– you have the situation with his brothers, where even if the Canucks pulled off the magic to build a cup contending team for next season, there is no guarantee that Hughes would stay. If he wants to play with his brothers, he will go no matter how well you fix the team around him.
Also, Hughes is elite, not generational.
But in short, it would be best for the Canucks to trade him this deadline instead of next.
Trade Hughes to NJ for Dawson Mercer, Simon Nemec, plus 2026 (top 15 guaranteed or else transfers to 2027) 1st round pick. We get a legitimate (potential) 2C, defenseman, and a decent prospect from the 1st rounder
He's allowed to be angry he lets his leadership show when he's on the ice I don't blame him he's only human. Don't trade him that would be stupid. The worst part about it is he's not going to let us know his plans. If we get the slightest idea he's not going to resign trade him for everything you can get. Throw EP40 in to the deal I don't wanna see him anymore.
Oye…🙄😬😮💨
he is definitely leaving lol
they will trade him when he doesn't re sign, I think Tampa get's him
There is no better time to rebuild. If Hughes wants out, 3 way trade to get Bedard here. Then draft McKenna or whatever position we get, deep draft this year. In 3 or 4 years we will be competitive again. Bedard will be 24 or so by then, but he might stay with us because he is a diehard Canucks fan.
Of course, if we are rebuilding anyways, we can also sign Bedard off free agency when the time comes. There is no rush anyways.
I said this when we traded Silovs and got a ton of flak even from my Canuck hating colleagues. As much as I like Demko and want him on the team. I think we would’ve been better off keeping Silovs. There’s virtually no point in having the one of the best goalies ever if he’s only going to play a handful of games per season now. Especially with the rest of the team being the state it’s in.
We can build the team around Quinn but only if he wants to stay.
