Nico, Jack, Jesper and Luke are untouchable. Any other player can be in the mix. And Devils will win this trade. I don't think that there are a lot of gms who is really ready to offer more for two years only.

Imagine if the organization was stupid enough to move Nico just to slurp Jack even more...

Nemec... plus what else could we throw in? God our cupboard is so dry. His trade value is reduced with these comments. I'm sure GMs already knew that Quinn would want to play with Jack and Luke, but now it's out there. Who is going to pay a lot? Nemec is worth it, but maybe add Vilen and a pick
Pretty much my untouchables list.
Remember - we weren't looking for Quinn Hughes before today. He wasn't necessarily in our plans. And he still might not be in our plans.
The other 2 guys i'd rather not trade, but I guess i would, our two Russians! Silayev and Yegorov. I guess I'd give up Silayev... Yegorov i think we need to keep. But I deal them if that's the ask.

It won't cost us any of our core guys. The Canucks dont have the leverage because no team is paying anything close to that for only 2 years of Quinn knowing he is leaving the first chance he gets
If there’s a way to deal for Quinn Hughes that doesn’t involve either of our promising young Russians, I’d be super happy. Would Mercer, Nemec or Casey and a 1st be enough? Who knows what the ‘Nucks perception of these guys is.
I read a great point from a poster(s) earlier. We really do need help in our transition game. I think some of us have overlooked this (I know I have) due to other glaring team weaknesses. Say what you want about flawed players in Severson and Marino but both were terrific on breakout passes. I remember many beautiful stretch passes that led to goals. We have more defensive defensemen on the blueline than guys who excel on the breakout. Quinn would help here and in so many other facets of the game.

That’s a huge overpay the devils hold all the cards why would you give them all that.
they need centers, and i don’t think Timo has plus value right now, i would say he might even have negative value to most teamsNot going to happen….. but Timo ?
We would almost assuredly have to dump Hamilton’s 9m contract to bring Quinn in, no? Yes, the salary cap is going up but Luke needs an extension and there’s lots of work to be done/$ to be spent with an overhaul of the forward group.

Nemec, Mercer, 1st is as high as I’m going. If the ask is more than that I just wait until 2027.
I would make that trade and also agree with your sentiment. Exactly how I feel about it really.

I don't think the Canucks have the leverage to make any kind of demands. They'll get Hamilton/Siegenthaler, Silayev and a pick or two and be content.
That interview murdered all leverage they had. Or Jersey can just wait for him to hit the market and pay nothing lol. I'd personally just pay nickles on the dollar and get him a year sooner, but that's me.
It's an inevitability.

This is the summer to cash out. If Rutherford waits until next summer, the price is going to be a lot lower, especially with the secret being out he wants to play with Jack and Luke.
No one is paying up for one year of Quinn and we can afford to wait

If Quinn does eventually come to NJ its happy bob season for @Devs3cups

Iinstead, let's pull the ol' switcheroo and send the Canucks Jack and Luke.
Take back Demko, EP ($2M retained), Suter, and their next 2 unprotected firsts.

That Canucks team isn’t going anywhere in the west with Dallas Colorado Vegas Edmonton kings jets all better then them and all cup contenders. Sell off tank and rebuild when the balance of power shifts back east and the west is weaker
It’s like when parise left he went to the wild at the height of the kings and hawks dominance in that conference and got left holding the bag

You know I joked at the time that they will run him into the ground before he hits ufa and thinking now that’s def going to be the case like having a running back have 350 touches in multiple seasons the next team signs him and he’s beat
Quinn coming here for a package that doesn't break the bank would turn most of the doomers into coomers.

Twitter Canucks fans are legit talking themselves into the idea that they can somehow trade for both Luke and Jack.
Some dumb proposals floating around

Perhaps a low mileage Justin Dowling would interest them.
