You’re not getting a (likely) reigning two time Norris winner for spare parts man

I’d personally pack his bags and drive him to the airport if he went to New Jersey. Watching Hughes, Hughes and Hughes is just too much to not want to see
Vancouver has a large enough fan base that management could tell you water wasn’t wet and they’d still turn a profit every year

Going to be hard to a big haul for Quinn because he's FA in 2 years and if he's not going to sign then (assuming he wants to play with his bros)...why would the receiving team give something insane for him?
Best case from the Devils - offseason probably - is Van takes back Hamilton and gets a Seamus Casey or Simon Nemec and calls it a day

I know Vancouver fans don't want to see it, but the prophecy has been set in stone as soon as NJ drafted Luke Hughes. Quinn is watching both of his brothers playing together & having a lot of fun. Not only that but they have a close knit locker room. They are also poised for cup success as they have all the major pieces needed for a true cup runs. They have multiple blue chip prospects not even in the nhl yet. If I'm Quinn I'm off to NJ to go.play with my brothers, have some fun, and join a team poised for long term success. If Quinn doesn't bolt to NJ as soon as the opportunity presents itself I would be straight up shocked.

This is just rosterbating.
IF we COMPLETELY start over he will want to leave.
Meaning we aren't completely starting over. It's really not that deep.
I think Rutherford's interview was trying to soften the market to the fact that we will, if we're lucky, trade J.T. for a flawed 2nd line center, a 1st, maybe a cap dump and a negligible prospect. In no way is that his 'worth' on paper, but contextually it is.
We're not doing a full rebuild. But moving off of Boeser and Miller is likely what has to happen this year.
That will also open lots of cap space and offer us assets which we can relay into other players who fit the time frame.
With Willander and whatever assets we get, I think we can be better next year than we are this year.

31 teams would move heaven and earth to fit in Hughes
Norris is better than Mercer.
DeMelo is underrated and better than Nemec is currently
The 1st turned into Stutzle
They also got a decent checking type forward in Turney.
Why are these teams giving up mega youth and prospects and picks for Quinn who is FA in 2 more seasons and likely to go to NJ?
Ah yes, the old he is going to come here for free in 2 years so we should not have to pay market value for him.

That's not even in the realm of possibility. Jack just signed an 8 year long deal on a steal of a contract & Luke is about to sign his long term deal this summer. Even if the Hughes brothers wanted to jump ship to Van (this is not happening even in fantasy land) you guys wouldn't even be able offer a package to bring Jack over. He has arguably the best contract in the league right now. You guys have nothing to offer for him nor Luke. I mean if you want to wait 8 years and hope they come to you in free agency be my guest but Quinn can be here in 2 years & NJ wouldn't even have to offer up a single piece to get him. In other words there's 0 chance Jack & Luke end up on Van. Absolutely 0.
