Quinn Hughes: Deploy the Yzerplan Before it is Too Late

[Izzy Goodenough]

Bring the Michigan kid home:

 

[SirloinUB]

He wants to play with his brothers. He ain't coming here.

Quinn Hughes, whom the Detroit Red Wings passed on drafting, playing like a star

Quinn Hughes has 6 points in 9 NHL games. Filip Zadina, whom the Detroit Red Wings drafted instead, is still trying to stand out in the AHL.

lol we have zero assets that would land us Hughes.

You’d be looking at Kasper, Raymond, Ed and a 1st.

 

[stillwater]

If Dom says it, it must be true.

Who's Dom?

 

[izlez]

Not so sure random twitter user creating rumor of Quinn to NJ is worthy of Quinn to Detroit thread.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

You're in trouble now Bob McKenzie, Elliotte Friedman and others. DOM is the new insider.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Worst kept secret is he's going to play with his brothers. Also Michigan isn't exactly home, as he didn't grow up in the state, only lived here while playing on the USNTDP and at Michigan. With that being said, I'm sure plenty here will blame Yzerman when it's announced Quinn has been traded to the Devils.

 

[Henkka]

It's funny how did I read some possible scenarios at that 2018 draft time, how the oldest brother could join Jack, because Quinn is the first as UFA, who can decide.

Luke Hughes was pure luck going to to Jersey, but it kind of locked the destination, when 2 were on the same team.

Now it's happening.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

He wants to play in NJ. Even IF there were a trade to be made, we would be throwing away assets.

Agreed. But it'll be interesting to see what Vancouver gets in return, and what that means for the rest of their summer. They might still be a situation to take advantage of in the trade market.

 

[Henkka]

Something like 1st + 2nd + Seamus Casey + Nolan Foote, is my prediction.

Ultimate predatory bargain.

Yeah, they already blame Yzerman for not drafting him, even though he wasn't even with the Wings when Quinn was drafted.

I have to think Hamilton is involved. Get their immediate roster player and some futures.

Does NJ have such assets outside of 1...jack Hughes?

Come on now

Show me an NHL trade in recent memory where any top player got this much? We aren't getting him, but the price would not be what you say.

 

[Retire91]

Hey slow down bob, first in first out we got to fix not drafting Chychrun first

 

[ShanahanMan]

He’s a top 5, perhaps 3, defenseman in the league. It would take 3 “really good” players to land an “elite” player.

Eichel to Vegas?
Karlsson to SJ?

Neither of those trades brought back anywhere close to what you mentioned here.

 

[DamonDRW]

one of the Hughes brothers needs to go to Vancouver.

Nemec + 1st + +

Krebs, Tuch and a 1st is not comparable?
Norris, DeMelo and a 1st is not comparable?

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Lol no. Wtf? You're not a fan of this team if you think this, honestly. The whole league would be laughing at us more than they already do if we sent that package to Vancouver

Besides, wouldn't you start hating on Hughes anyway when his play dips slightly and stops putting up PPG point seasons?

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

I have to agree with Oddbob. You're suggesting 3 quality NHL players who have untapped potential. Edvinsson and Ray both go top 3 in their respective redrafts. Plus adding Marco, who as a rookie potted almost 20 playing center.

Closer comp would be Marco(Krebs)+Debrincat(Tuch)+1st

 

[lilidk]

He wants to play with his brothers. He ain't coming here.

Instead , maybe we should work to get Dobson
Ed Seider
Chiarot Dobson
AJo ASP
