Klingberg totally seems like a Tocchet player.

I completely blanked on the fact Hughes is a UFA after his contract is over. It will be interesting to see when Vancouver can "officially" offer him a new contract on July 1st 2026 and he tells them "nay, lets wait till the season is over" do the nucks trade him to the devils or gamble he will resign with the Canucks? Devils may want all 3 brothers
 
I think the Hughes to new jersey stuff is dumb.

Brady signed long term with Ottawa instead of manipulating his way to play with Matthew, and when Matthew forced his way out of Calgary it wasn't to Ottawa.

Hockey players always have an odd allegiance to the team that drafted them, committed to them, made them a core piece etc. He's not falling over himself to get to new jersey.

nevermind i found it

i mean.. tyson barrie, keith yandle and torey krug were right there too in scoring, were they sniffing top 15? i'm not trying to be a dick but is it the plus/minus that is swaying it

i don't get it that's all

Barrie and Yandle were PP producers with massively negative shot AND goal diffs over that period

Krug was a good player on some powerhouse Bruins teams. legit top pair guy though.

But you're kind of missing the point. He was an exceptionally good player before injuries took their toll. If he's trying to make a comeback (which i give him a lot of credit for) , we should absolutely be checking in to see what kind of mobility he has post surgery.

I wasn't suggesting we sign him to some multi year contract at a stupid number...just pointing out that there's no downside to doing the due diligence (or signing him to a 1 year deal at an amount you can bury in Abbotsford if need be).

I mean the Hughes brothers/family seems incredibly close and even when they play against other they say they want to see each other do well.

Tkachuk bros are more like an intense brotherly rivalry. They’ll take runs at each other during a game.

I don’t think the mentality/relationship between the brothers in both families have the same nature at all.
 
I just don't think it's that important to Quinn, at all.

(When Matthew Tkachuk was on the stanley cup run Brady was in the crowd most games cheering him on.)

I could be wrong, but I believe Brady also said that he would no longer be doing that for Matthew's playoff games anymore lol

I don't think I'm missing the point of what you're suggesting I think I'm simply disagreeing whether or not I would show any interest in them based on what he wants was under the assumption he has some Mobility back.

I think what we need most is not only a defenseman that can skate but that can simply make the first pass we don't need another rusher. We need somebody that can read the ice and anticipate

Quinn has a different mentality to his brothers though. Jack is the jock/fratboy type, cocky when things are going his way, prone to immature temper tantrums when they aren’t. Even demanded they play Luke on PP1 the year before, and the coaching staff acquiesced. This was before Dougie went down of course. Luke is mostly a wallflower.

Quinn isn’t like that. You can make fun of his resting face, but he’s emotionally regulated the vast majority of the time. Is able to be critical of his own game, and works hard on remedying it in the off-season. Wants badly to win, to succeed, and is a leader in the locker room and in the community.

To me, Quinn is too stubborn to take the easy route, and I can’t see him going to a team where there is a preexisting leadership structure and potentially step on any toes. Nor would a close family guy like Quinn want to overtake Luke as the “the guy” on D.

He could leave, but I don’t see Quinn joining NJ at all.

does mgmnt need to pull a trade now..? or keep status quo and make calls around the league for their pending ufas.

I think they've got to do something. I don't envy their position, but there's nothing that indicates the team is close to turning it around. Mgmt needs to pick a direction and go for it. It's decision time. I'd include whether the coach stays or goes as a decision as well.

Team has too many holes. Weak D, weak wingers, feuding C's, injured #1 goalie. In retrospect, last year's "everything going well" season will hurt the team in the long run. Lost many assets to rent Lindholm. Also, I think management and coaches got overconfident in what they did and ended up not making the correct adjustments in the offseason.
