I just don't know why they would do that and basically throw a wrench in what is presently a solid roster build that doesn't need Hughes (beyond the marketing). I’ve been listening to espn from nyc. They rarely talk hockey, and when they do they mention the Rangers and once in a while the Sabres as teams. They gave yet to talk about the Devils. Marketing is much needed for that club to gain some audience that winning can’t do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 this got a thread...ugh! If Canucks remote think of dealing Quinn they better see what Rathbone can do when he is healthy. Would SUCK to trade Hughes, Canucks have never had a D like him and he will have broken ever D record before his contract is up! Would take an insane overpayment to consider moving him. Best be getting 2 top end D prospects back plus more! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Mayfield for example Ideally what should happen for our main d corps both out of necessity and realism is: Hughes/OEL ________ OEL/Hughes ________ _______ Schenn Bear Burroughs Move Myers, see if Dermott is a longer term fit with someone 2 to 3 dmen replace with Mayfield being a heavy brought in to off set Hughes. Current defence mixture is not it and needs retooling. that barely moves the needle, imo, and if it were easy, it'd be done. They need a deal where one guy is headed out and multiple good pieces come back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck73_3 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 NHL trade logic 101 If you’re trading one player for many, you are giving up the best player in the deal therefore closer to losing the deal than winning it from the get go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they did and the return is great I would consider it. Honestly, of course this is my opinion only, my feeling is that Hughes will want to join his brothers when his contract expires. So better get the return now than lose him for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted February 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2023 Not enough IMO. The 1st would be like a 2nd (NJ would finish high). Also, no one knows what Nemec will be like in the NHL. Big gamble. Forget the 1st.

For me it would take: Bratt (sure thing top line player) Mercer (young player) Nemec (top prospect) 1st rounder 2023 (draft capital) FOR Quinn Hughes Even then I'd seriously consider not doing it. I don't think we really know the value Hughes brings to our lineup. Without him we are dead last in the league and with him we already are close. Maybe we should have traded him there in offseason to secure Bedard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I mean, I would be interested to see what they would be willing to offer up. Mercer, Nemec, 1st + would get me thinking tbh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 The hockey panel came up with this silly trade idea during intermission in last night's game. I believe it was Hughes for Mercer, Nemec and a 1st. Maybe they thought it would be interesting, seeing as Jack was playing against Quinn and the TDL is a few weeks away. So, did Sportsnet start this rumour? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
