Quinn Hughes: Deploy the Yzerplan Before it is Too Late

[The Zetterberg Era]

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.

He lives and trains in the western suburbs in the off-season. As do his brothers, along with Larkin and Werenski in a group of NHL guys. His parents to the best of my knowledge still live in Northville.

I agree he is going to the Devils.

if Vancouver actively shopping him to New Jersey is actually accurate then he's probably straight up already told Vancouver privately that he plans on heading there in free agency

 

[ShanahanMan]

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

Okay fair but it’s still pretty close.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

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

it's too bad lou's out on the island. probably could've traded copp and chiarot for the 1st overall

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

We wanted Zadina. Deal with it. He will never play for Detroit ever.

You overvalue Krebs a ton. He’s not realgud.

That’s more like Rasmussen + DBC + 1st

Yup...We would've likely been happy with Bouchard too.

This was referring to the basis of the Eichel trade. Back when Krebs still had tons of potential/before he solidified himself as a bottom 6 grinder.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Bouchard is a stud. I would be happy with Dobson. Anything was better than Bustina. That pick really f***ed us.

I wanted us to get Eichel and was willing to deal Larkin+ at the time and now... if we would have offered Bert,Ras,Larkin and Zadina at the time they might have taken it...

But... Ken Holland is gonna take the duty.

 

[Pavels Dog]

lol we have zero assets that would land us Hughes.

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

Not even Gretzky returned that kind of package.

If Quinn actually gets moved to NJ it's likely Nemec + Mercer as the basis imo.

We'll see a lot lesser price, because there's only one possible destination. No one is gonna buy Hughes for only 2 seasons, and then lose him for basicly nothing.

So there's no bidding war, and only loser is Vancouver, who has to sell him cheap.

 

[Dotter]

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

I like this but need to mix up those pairs differently.

Seider Dobson
Ed Ajo
Chariot ASP

I would not load up Ed and Seider together.

 

[FissionFire]

Latest rumor is:

Nemec (2022 2OA)
Silayev (2024 10OA)
Mercer (top6 winger)
2026 1st

That’s probably not even enough

 

[stillwater]

Latest rumor is:

Nemec (2022 2OA)
Silayev (2010 10OA)
Mercer (top6 winger)
2026 1st

That’s probably not even enough

So ASP, MBN, ALJO and our #1.

 

[dj4aces]

That's where the real question is. Is Vancouver actually shopping him?

Tocchet, shortly before being fired, remarked that "brothers want to play together", and seemed to imply that it might be possible for the Canucks to convince his brothers to move out west.

Personally speaking, I think Hughes signs with the Devils after the 2026-2027 season, when his contract expires. But I don't think the Canucks have the assets to get even one of the Hughes brothers from the Devils, and we don't have the assets we're willing to part with to get Hughes.

We had our chance to grab him, but Kenny picked Zadina instead.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

So ASP, MBN, ALJO and our #1.

You would trade that for a short term #1?

 

[stillwater]

no

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Nemec (2022 2OA)
Silayev (2010 10OA)
Mercer (top6 winger)
2026 1st

That’s probably not even enough

2010?

 

[Lampedampe]

Probably makes Pettersson available, no way they don't straight tank if they trade Hughes, right?

13st, Danielson, plus some sweetener.

Doubt they get full value given his level of play plus contract.

 

[Oddbob]

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

No, not even close. Ray is better than Tuch, and Krebs, then you have Kasper who is already looking better than Krebs, then you added Ed and a 1st which is 13th overall. The 1st in the Eichel trade ended up in the late 20s, and there is no Ed from Vegas's side.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Nemec + 1st + +

Nemec ain't Raymond or Seider

 

[RedHawkDown]

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

Not even remotely in the same galaxy? wtf are you on? Raymond alone is 100x player any of these guys are or ever will be

Man I’m sometimes called a doomer around here but some of you are so far gone you may as well be Habs fans.

Unless Pettersson shows up this fall and looks like the guy who hung 100 points up and was in selke talk the Canucks aren't getting much of anything for a guy with that cap hit.
