Hughes' contract was interesting since Makar kind of set the bar and then Heiskanen signed for 8 years. RFA contracts under Benning have actually been decent and tends towards being conservative so some of it might be fine negotiating (with the Canucks also cap strapped).

i think hughes is a “hindsight” oh they should have given him 8 years at makar money
he wasn’t worth that extra risk at the time. it wasn’t a slam dunk signing. it was a signing at a justifiable number. and he’s unbelievably exceeded that number and now we need to maximize around him and ep
ep’s the one where i think it was always obvious he was an 8 year guy but eh i dont wanna debate that one

So I keep getting facebooks notifications that NJ is interested in acquiring Q Hughes ... But none of them has any suggestion what the Canucks would get out of the deal. There is really nothing that NJ has that the Canucks would be interested in, is there?
They don't have cap space so we can't dump cap, and they have no strong players on decent contracts ... I see nothing in this for the Canucks.
Anyone seen any proposals that make sense?

I don’t think you should read anything hockey related off Facebook lol
Can’t wait for the annual “Hughes to NJ” BS for as long as Quinn is a Canuck lol

some online writer asked ChatGPT what are some topics that will engage hockey fans. this one was picked by AI, thats why there is no concrete information given in the article. Its meant to just drive clicks, its not written by a human.

Yeah, sure. They can’t afford him though. Imagine how ridiculous the return would have to be to trade away the best defenceman your franchise has ever seen.

Better situation than the yearly “Shane Doan to Vancouver” threads we used to get

Fair enough. But my point was I can't think of a single offer NJ could make that would be of any interest to the Canucks. NJ have nothing to trade that Vcr would be interested in. Clearly the point of the trade is to unite the Hughes. NJ does not have a single asset that is 1. not named Hughes; 2. that is not overpaid. 3. that is a valuable prospect. 4 that is a worthwhile draft pick .... that Van would want. They have no cap space, so they can't even provide a cap dump.
I wasn't promoting this ... I was trying to point out how stupid the idea is.
1) are you Elliotte Friedman with the “VCR”??
2) the only player on the Devils I would even consider trading Hughes for is also named Hughes and it’s not the tall one.

You shouldn’t get any info off from Facebook, period. I’m still surprised in 2023 people still rely on Facebook for shit.
It was all fun and games back in the mid to late 2000’s but we hav removed beyond that since.
Tinfoil hat time but Meta (Facebook + Instagram) have some of the most aggressive data mining practices. I don’t have either and if I hadn’t deleted them pre-COVID I would have like 2 weeks in.

I like Hughes for captain, personally. I think his is the voice in the locker room that would most benefit the team with endorsement as captain.

The Devils have a ton of assets that could make trading Hughes work it's just that it's completely unrealistic fantasy hockey that neither team would explore.
Canucks are releasing a lot of Quinn's offseason videos of late. I wonder if he's the pick for captain (of course as soon as I say this the Canucks will switch to showcasing Petey).
Hughes is looking pretty strong.
I think Hughes and Petey have all grown into leaders and somewhat comfortable speaking to the media. I'm not inside the room so I'm not sure who makes the better leader.

Rasmus had only 3 less points than Quintin did, while scoring double(plus 1) the goals.Even the money knows that the Norris is an offensive defenseman's award
Revisiting that 2018 draft, it's still a wonderment that Hughes was still on the board when the Canucks picked seventh overall.
Looking at some of the players drafted ahead of him--Kotkaniemi and Zadina aren't even with the teams that drafted them. While Barrett Hayton is useful guy in Arizona, but still a bizarre choice by the Coyotes at fifth overall.
But the Wings selection of Zadina might have been the biggest 'whiff' in the draft, particularly because Quinn Hughes was playing his NCAA hockey right in their backyard. Also of interest--Vitaly Kravstov was picked ninth by the Rangers in that draft.
So the Canucks eventually secured two of the top10 picks in that draft. And since Zadina was placed on waivers and bought out by the Wings, they might even have had him as well if they'd been interested, but he signed in San Jose.
Just goes to show that teams other than the Canucks swing and miss on their top-10 picks. Almost makes up for drafting Oli Juolevi.
