You keep saying If Hughes this or if Hughes that. I guess Bedard is guaranteed to come to Vancouver since he is originally from North Van why would he go to the team that drafts him. If Bedard doesnt report and asks for trade, then Vancouver can get him for cheap.
How about you come back down to reality instead of coming up with these scenarios that NJ will get Hughes for free at free agency and Hughes will sign long term for 6 million dollars and everything magically works for NJ. It never happens like that but hey its nice to dream for you guys. Bedard also said Canucks will win the cup so am guessing Bedard to Vancouver is 100% guaranteed
This is exactly how NJ fans act here when it comes to Quinn Hughes. Like a girl they have a big crush on but cant get but they keep insisting that she will marry them one day. Its actually starting to sound so desparate and pathetic ever since Hughes signed the 6 year deal with Vancouver. Maybe NJ can get Hughes once he hits 40 and comes there as a front office personnel
So Buffallo says no to getting Quinn Hughes and Petersson for Dahlin? Ypu are out of your depths with this one because Vancouver hangs up before Buffalo says no and if Buffalo says no to that offer then their GM is even dumber than Benning or Milbury

Ya, you're not making any sense at all.
I never said anything you're spouting off about, I said if Quinn goes to UFA the Devils would go all in to try and sing him. I didn't say he was coming cheap, I didn't give any other scenarios where the Devils get him.
In fact if you weren't so hung up at inexplicably being mad at all Devil fans for non Devil fans comments you'd probably see we are a lot closer in our trains of thought than you think.
It was an Islander/Canuck fan saying all that shit about the brothers picking a house for Quinn to live when he ends up in NJ.... Not a Devil fan
It was a Montreal fan that said the Devils were likely to get him, not a Devil fan
I keep telling you to read the thread and pay attention to the poster, but you continue to dump on Devil fans
The only "if" I posted was if he goes to UFA the Devils would go for him, so kindly stop saying I said stuff I clearly didn't say.
If he goes the FA market which is a big if. I really dont see him going to FA market since he is a player in high demand that will be re-signed right away whether its Canucks or the team that pays to get him. The only way NJ can get him is via trade so forget the FA route. HFboard always discusses big names that might become available during summer and 95% of them sign with their current team.

I agree it's a big if, but even still I doubt NJ would have any desire to trade for him until he's in his contract year and then they'd trade for him, when the price wouldn't be astronomical like it is should be right now.
Presuming they'll play together in NJ is kind of where it gets weird for me.
Yes, it's the easiest and most obvious choice but it's certainly not the only choice these brothers are obviously close and have expressed a desire to play together but, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Quinn go to Detroit and the Devils duo join him there as soon as they can.

Agreed, good post. But Horvat a lot better than Miller, Garland or Boeser.

Agreed with this post 100 percent. What the hell was that post?
Anywho, Canucks are lucky to have Hughes.
Only way he leaves Vancouver is if he wants out
if the brothers expressed the desire to play together today, it might be different in 5 years, when quinn can become a free agent first time. 5 years is a long time in a young adults life and the priorities can change fast at that age.
it's not worth to discuss this for the next 4 years and in 4 years the roster and cap situation of the teams in play will have changed a lot.

I think the value is too high atm for any team.
btw. Quinn Hughes became the first LD in a long time
in the NHL to score at least 40 points in first 4 seasons in the NHL
53 points
41 points
68 points
40 points (so far this season)
---------------------------------
205 points in 245 games
Now i know, its not some official stuff
but helluva impressive feat, Rasmus Dahlin couldn't do that.

Saying LD is just a way to disqualify Fox and Makar. Defense is defense wtf cares which side they play on.

Its usually RD's who scores the most points, besides, it was just an observation
no need to get angry about it dude.
Value for Quinn Hughes is highest amongst teams that don't still live in the 2000s and think like a bunch of meat heads. When he's on the ice, it's very noticeable. 57% Corsi (Next closest defenceman on the Canucks is at 46%), on ice goal percentage of 58.3% (Next closest defenceman on the Canucks is at 42.4%). When Hughes is off the ice, the expected goals for percentage drops to a staggering 44.2%. There are a handful of defencemen that are better than him, sure, but I feel confident in saying he's a top-10 defenceman and the numbers back that statement up.

Remove Pettersson and it’s still bad for Vancouver

The ‘Hughes can’t play defense” claims are a myth and always have been, barring a period in which he struggled during his sophomore season. He’s not exactly a shutdown D man but that’s not what he’s being paid to be.
The problem is the defense around him.

They don't hand out a minus on the PK. I think you just meant to have separate sentences there worded a little different.
Then stop trying to move him here in trade ideas! No serious Jersey fan thinks or wants him here! The marketing part of it is great, that's where it ends! We are overloaded with (almost never a thing here in jersey but its true). If Van fans want to move him here look at our cap before you make proposals.This is exactly how NJ fans act here when it comes to Quinn Hughes. Like a girl they have a big crush on but cant get but they keep insisting that she will marry them one day. Its actually starting to sound so desparate and pathetic ever since Hughes signed the 6 year deal with Vancouver. Maybe NJ can get Hughes once he hits 40 and comes there as a front office personnel
The only way he comes to Jersey is a part way through his almost $8M deal. I feel NJ only does that once they have contended a while which we are not even in yet! Enjoy hm, he's a great player, which we are not in need of at this time!

Can we all just ignore this comment? It’ll make the rest of the thread more bearable.

Why? He's absolutely right about it being bad for Vancouver.
Dahlin is better than Hughes, yes. But look at those contracts. Hughes is signed for 3 more years. Sure, Dahlin is still RFA, but he's going to get a raise.

Because the opinion that Hughes is worth more than Dahlin is so outrageous it’s just going to derail the thread. Dahlin is in the conversation for being the best defenceman in the world and a Norris favourite this season. Hughes is great too but not at that level.
