It Vancouver Canucks It may have trouble attracting free agents this summer in the midst of the uncertainty surrounding the team captain, Quinn Hughes.
In an appearance on the Donnie and Dhalia program published on May 26, the NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman was highlighted by the cloudy future of Quinn Hughes.
Friedman stated:
“Uncertainty about Quinn Hughes, this is something that will take some questions here and there. Some of the big names will be asked, though we heard of what you had to say about Hughes publicly, but what do you really think?”
The questions began to appear for the time of Quinn Hughes in Vancouver after the end of the season. First, Hughes was not satisfied with the management he had taken by the team Rick Tocchet. If some rumors believe, Hughes had a direct opinion in the hiring of Adam Foote as the next team's head.
At that time, there was another rumor who proposed that Hughes wanted to play with his brothers Jack and Luke, both on the New Jersey Devils list.
This rumor, in particular, opened its doors to speculations that Hughes may not sign a long -term extension in Vancouver. Instead, he can choose to leave the free agency and join his brothers in New Jersey or other places, as Vancouver GM Jim Rutherford dropped into the team's final season press.
Friedman concluded:
“If you come to Vancouver and you are signing in the long term, you want to know that you will play with a boy like him.”
The Hughes clock will start as soon as this season. Hughes has two more years in its current agreement and is in the free agency on July 1, 2027. If Canucks Clarity of Hughes's long-term future cannot be offered in Vancouver, free agents will be able to fight the idea of joining the Canucks next season and beyond.
Vancouver Canucks has an incentive to move Quinn Hughes
Ny Post's remarkable columnist, Larry Brooks, discussed the incentive that Vancouver's Canucks have to move Quinn Hughes as soon as possible.
The reasoning?
The Canucks risk losing one of the best proponents of their generation by Zilch in 2027. While the Canucks will probably do everything they can to chain it to an extension, they will have to reach a point where the team will have to explore a trade.
Brooks cited an example, using precisely the New Jersey Devils. The Devils lost Hall of Famer and Captain Scott Niedermayer for nothing after the 2004-05 lock season.
Niedermayer won a Stanley Cup and a Trophy Conne Smythe in 2007 with the Ducks Anaheim.
This is the path that Brooks states that it is the fate that Vancouver's Canucks could face if they do not address the situation of Quinn Hughes as the iron is still hot.
In the meantime, Canucks fans will have to deal with persistent speculations on the team captain until they sign an extension or elsewhere than could be a transformative return package.
