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.
That's funny, because my username is actually a homage to you as a poster.

64 and 65 are in between 43 a d 86 but maybe he’ll go a different route and wear zero or 129 because the Hughes’ go by 43’s only.

IF Canucks HAD to, yeah.
Swap Grits for Anton Silayev though.
But 5 pieces that most teams cant give, and yet with zero leverage VAN still commands a haul from the one team that holds all the UFA cards.
Devils fans will tell you they'll just wait but thats the cost to secure it anytime before 2028.

Also to add to above, just like "Mika needs to be included for cap reasons" blah blah blah.
Thats a NYR problem. Never was gonna be a VAN problem.
After your proposed trade above and my swapping of Silayev...
Hughes, Hughes, Dillon and only one PKer is a NJD problem in this scenario, not a VAN one.
Hamilton, Hughes, Hughes is a NJD problem, not a VAN one in this scenario.
Hamilton at 9, Hughes at 8, other Hughes needing a deal, not a VAN problem in this scenario.
We'd want those 5 assets and leave you to figure out how to manage the aftermath
But first we need to trade Elias Pettersson then we can get real talking about Hughes.
43. You don’t let your younger brother have your number, you hold him down and threaten to loogie him if he doesn’t give it to you.
negative. you are dealing with a rhird party fan. silayev and nemec won't be both in the package.

That’s an easy no from NJ. They can get him for 0 in free agency if that’s where he wants to be.
