Speculation: Quinn Hughes wants to contend

From a value standpoint, of course he is. Doesn’t change the fact that the Canucks will be in a position of weakness and that can be detrimental for value.
Imagine losing out on possibly the best defenceman in the league, locked up long term to a really good contract because you tried to lowball Vancouver, just for him to end up in your division while you question why you wouldnt throw in an extra pick.
 
Hes ufa after next season. If he forces his way out of town and makes it clear he's only reuppibg with one team the return for Vancouver will be seriously downgraded. (I'm not saying that's going to be tge case, but it's within tge realm of possibilities)
He’s got another year after next season.

Unlike the others, there's no way he returns anything less than a King's Ransom, because he's 25 and about to win his second consecutive Norris. Every team in the league will ask about him.

Start the bidding at:

U25 top 4 defenceman
Blue chip prospect
Blue chip prospect
1st round pick
1st round pick
Not getting all that if he is demanding a trade
 
I heard if Miller Petterson Boeser Demko Linden and the Sedins are traded for futures and Messier comes back as GM/coach/player that Hughes will get traded and the Canucks will have Garland Myers and Jykri Lumme be a Cerberus like 3 headed triple captain.

Just a rumour. But I swear I heard it.

From a position of weakness, don’t be surprised to not get full value for him. Same thing goes for Miller and EP.
Ottawa traded a pending UFA Karlsson at full value.
Idk, Hughes with 2 years left? They can wait for a serious offer.
 
If Canucks end up trading Hughes his value will be whatever the highest bidder is willing to pay. Despite what Canuck fans hope for the salary cap severely limits the teams interested in this kind of player
 
I wouldn't blame him. If Miller gets traded and EP is kept, that's a giant f*** you to the team. Trading the underpaid guy who works his ass off, to keep the overpaid piss baby that only plays when he feels like it.

Miller gets traded, Boeser walks or traded at the deadline, Demko in the offseason.. yea I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hughes is next
 
Not even close

2 years left. If he is going there. What is the point realistic package?

Top 2 pick. 40 pt 23 year old. 1st round pick is a realistic base.

Unless nemec is a bust? Getting a top 2 pick for an asset that’s leaving

I have no skin in the game, I’m just here to enjoy the show. Usually getting a collection of lesser pieces from a position of weakness is not a good thing.

Wow it’s on the internet- it must be true!
It’s on the internet because Jim Rutherford said it..
