Proposal: Quinn Hughes to Buffalo at the draft

[Captain Controversy]

Assuming Buffalo doesn’t get 1OA in the lottery and the pick is 2-4 range.

To Vancouver
Buffalo 1st rounder 2025
Owen Power or Bowen Byrum
Jack Quinn

To Buffalo
Quinn Hughes

If Vancouver is getting skittish about Hughes not re-signing this is the time to cash in.

I feel like many teams would out bid that .

 

[PettersonHughes]

Lol Quinn Hughes and EP40 for Dahlin, Tage and Tuch.

The real question is, would Edmonton? Not talking about Drai or McDavid. But 4 first round picks and roster player

If traded he is going to the devils

@Xirik waste assets and push for him now or wait until free agency ?

 

[Coffee]

I feel like acquiring Quinn Hughes will hurt the Sabres more than help with the pieces that would have to go the other way.

Agreed

Hughes is great but is not a Sabres need

“Pittsburgh sent a 2024 first-round pick, forward Mikael Granlund and defenseman Jan Rutta to San Jose and goaltender Casey DeSmith, defenseman Jeff Petry, a 2025 second-round pick and prospect Nathan Legare to Montreal as part of the deal for the three-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson”

This was ~ a year and a half ago.

Karlsson was older, significantly more expensive, and although he had just had a great year, his value had been reduced because he had struggled a bit after leave Ottawa.

 

[Sticksandsun]

Buffalo needs to put the LD down.
They don't need anymore LD
They've chewed up more LD than any franchise can chew.

 

[Crow]

You misread my point, Buffalo has dahlin, Colorado has Makar, they are both elite 1D, they don't NEED a Quinn Hughes. Everyone else will want to trade for Hughes.

Wow did I ever. My bad.

I cannot believe you posted this because of course the Canucks would gladly accept.....I mean Buffalo is not even giving up one of their top players and we all know Hughes is average...even if Buffalo had the 1st overall in that package, that is an easy NO from Vancouver...a starting point would be Dahlin, Buff 1st ++

Cool. I think his value goes down after next season when he becomes a 1 year rental.

 

[dirtydanglez]

he's going to nj

would not surprise me if he is extended....that package is not getting you Hughes as another team would swoop in but I guess you never know

Buffalo is not trading away that much for two years of control

 

[Three On Zero]

he's going to nj

I really hope he does

free agency

 

[Connor McConnor]

Yes, Quinn Hughes is fabulous. But the thread is about a trade of him to Buffalo. There is only one player coming back that would actually make any sense from a Vancouver perspective: Dahlin.
Yes Hughes would instantly make the Sabres better, and they’d for certain make the playoffs. But it would be a two season rental. What are the chances Hughes would stay?

Going from Dahlin to Hughes does not make them any better off than they are now. Trade makes no sense for either team.

 

[zenator]

This is laughable. Hughes is one of the top 10 players in the league, close to top 5.

And on the other side, why would Buffalo give up a lot of pieces for a player that won't sign with them and will be a UFA in 2 years?

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Quinn Hughes already looks sad, don’t do that to him.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

You certainly won't get  more value than that.

That's a pretty crazy package.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

I’ve seen Buffalo fans make inquires about Harley, Sanderson, and now Quinn Hughes… How are you looking at that team and saying LD is the problem?

 

[Djp]

Lol Quinn Hughes and EP40 for Dahlin, Tage and Tuch.

Dahlin is better than Quinn
Tage is better than EP

 

[TageGod]

If you don't think Dahlin and Hughes are a 1 for 1 swap, you don't know Dahlin.

Power 2026 first and Quinn is absolutely worth Hughes like it or not.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

I get f***ed up a lot but you posted this at 8:15 am OP.

Is there something wrong with the wake and bake?

 

[Panthaz89]

the Sabres would never trade for Quinn Hughes and certainly would never add in Dahlin who will actually play on the right side for them.....

 

[Ace of Hades]

Dahlin is better than Quinn

No, he isn't.

Quinn is the better player. Fairly obvious at it.

Canucks pass on this proposal.

He/she said “in their prime”. Doesn’t qualify.
