Speculation: Quinn Hughes wants to contend

[eviohh26]

If the Leafs fails again this playoffs.

Hughes and Hoglander to Toronto for Rielly, Nylander and 1st.

When the leafs*

For a kings ransom.

The thing that people need to come to terms with is that there is no way Canucks get f***ed over or something, despite what all these uneducated ass Leafs, Kings, Habs, and Devils fans say/wish.

they literally just got f***ed over in 2 different trades in the last 18 hours

who is to say they won't f*** this up too?

 

[absolute garbage]

If Hughes is set to go to NJ to play with his brothers, I think they could make it happen in a way that is not a total disaster for Vancouver. That would be a package around Silayev.

Hamilton would obviously have to be traded to make room, but that would be a different deal (Dallas would make sense),

There's one team.

If he wants to play with his brothers, he can do that. He can make it known that he will sign in NJ once his contract expires. That would mean Canucks have 3 options: 1) lose him for nothing in a couple of years, 2) trade him to one of the 30 other teams as a known rental asset, or 3) trade him to NJ where he will extend long term.

What's the best option for Canucks? Can't say for sure obviously, but I think there's a decent chance NJ would offer the best package in that situation. Say Silayev is on the table, like I think he would be, you really think a team getting Hughes as a rental would top that? Even if he was a 2 playoff run rental, I doubt it.
