Oh they def should trade him this season. If they wait till around deadline next year the return is going to be way less than cannucks fans expect. Next year teams know they are only getting him for one playoff run with almost no chance at extending.
I really never wanted a rebuild but ownership fumbled and bumbled Other teams tend to build a team while it seems to me that they just throw a team together. We are far from being a contending team. Quin can't carry this team by himself. Sure we got a couple good players but the rest are 3rd or 4th liners or tweeners. I do not see this team getting better. Lack of capital and trade fodder. Unless fans are just happy with Hughes and losing we can keep him. But does Quin have ambition to win a Cup? Because he sure won't be winning one here. And Canuck luck probably keeps us out of the race for McKenna. As for fans it is lose lose. As a fan I can see a lot of people way over rating this team. I think they are good but super fragile and as the season goes on has proven right. But I can see ownership and management trading away what little capital we have left to really get the rebuild talk going. Thus forcing a rebuild starting from scratch. With no assets at all. Which will take longer to rebuild.
Nobody knows what Quinn will choose in a couple of years, but if he is not willing to extend in Vancouver, the Canucks will be losing the biggest asset they ever had in their history. The way things are set up they can't sign him until next July 1st so that means they probably are only going to get a really good rental at next years deadline if he refuses to sign before the trade deadline. It is a tuff spot to be in as a first round pick and maybe a prospect doesn't equal Quinn's value. The only way to get maybe half his value is to trade him now, but is there a way for Canuck management to know if he is going to challenge free agency to see what offers are out there. If that is the case then they might as well trade him now and double their crappy return for him. My guess is Jersey would be just waiting for Quinn's contract to expire and then sign him for whatever it takes 12-14 mill per season? If the cap goes up as much as it is projected to, then they get the best D-man in the league for free. Pretty good position to be in for Jersey, and not so good for Van. This story is likely to get more interesting over the next year.
Huh? Of course it's necessary for the Canucks to rebuild, but they still need to fire their scouts and bad managers.
LOVE QUINN but HES going to LEAVE. TIME to do a FULL REBUILD. We have some other Good young DMAN. I Want a Team Like the DUCKS NJ HABS or Sharks. THIS TEAM is BORING and never going to WIN a CUP. Fire JIM and co plus get a New Owner.
Trade for the first overall pick
There is a salary cap
Canuck’s ownership don’t care about winning when will you finger that out
We're long overdue to just rebuild. I love the boys but "cah-monnnnn"
Quinn must sign
Firstly, I hope Quinn stays put.
Having said that, fans and media are suggesting/ assuming that Hughes goes to New Jersey to be with his brothers.
Guess what folks, he does not hold an NMC and can get moved to any team for the best deal offered.
Canucks would be assiniely stupid to trade Quinn Hughes
I didn’t know they stopped rebuilding yet since the last cup run…… it has felt like they don’t have a solid foundation yet at all. They have had a great number of incredible players come through. They’ve committed to 40 ya but no one that I thought they we’re staying haven’t
The arrival of DK in the panthers game freed up ep40 and we witnessed him work his magic. We don’t need a rebuild ! Stay the course and pick up a true second line Center at TD and bobs your uncle!
Another great video Lego! Dude I love the mascots lol 😂
As much as I hate the idea of trading a player like Quinn Hughes, and this wouldn't be a conversation at all had Jersey not selected the youngest brother. Why wouldn't he want to play with his brothers? Trade him as soon as you can and get Mercer, Semec and a 2026 1st. Done
F*ck it just sell the team to Bublè
New Jersey doesn't have anything to trade with.. Detroit does though 😋😀
As long as we get someone of equal value i.e. Another star, I don’t mind the idea of trading Hughes. Whoever we trade him for really needs to be worth it. You don’t trade someone like Hughes for a bunch of crumbs, you trade him for the whole 5 star meal. The question we should be asking is who in the league are we willing to trade Hughes for?
That said I’d rather Hughes stay with the Canucks
If Quinn doesn’t commit to Vancouver long term before this upcoming trade deadline, they should trade him and retain 50% salary to both get back the best assets possible and to give the acquiring team TWO playoff runs with Hughes before he bolts to NJ.
Canucks have 7 or 8 players with no trade clauses….how do you rebuild?
