QUINN HUGHES TRADE UPDATE + ELLIOTTE FRIEDMAN REVEALS THE TRUTH ABOUT DAVID KAMPF (Canucks News)

[Music] This isn’t that big of a deal. It’s really not. But we probably probably still should be talking about it to some capacity because it has started up, I’d say, the conversations in the Vancouver market as to whether or not a Quinn Hughes trade is actually possible or if it should happen. Plus, we also got some confirmation from Elliot Friedman as to why David Camp ended up signing with the Canucks. So, yeah, there’s a lot to dive into today for Vancouver Conucks related conversations. Obviously, the game against Florida was a slobber knocker in its own right. So many elements of offense from both teams and a pretty tough night for the goalenders in Yuri Patera and Sergey Babrovski. But in the midst of Vancouver’s Eastern Road swing, you had yourselves a very particular piece posted on the Glob and Mail by Gary Mason that had a lot of Conucks fans talking and that went out there and questioned whether or not a rebuild was necessary or even appropriate for the Vancouver Conucks. The article went semiviral, I would say. A lot of folks were referencing it on social media and even on the radio, but there was a very particular element of this piece that did go viral more than others, and it’s what Gary Mason said at the bottom. This was posted by Kuck’s News Summaries. If it appears at some point this is shaping up to be another lost season, then management is going to need to know what the prospects of keeping Quinn Hughes are. If they’re not great, then the sooner they deal him, the better. Perhaps then they can get on with the rebuild for which their fan base appears so eager. So with that in mind, you know, Vancouver rebuild, a Quinn Hughes trade, these are all elements that we have kind of cut and pasted together in various conversations over the past few months. Does Quinn Hughes want to leave? Is Quinn Hughes going to want to stay in Van? If he does not want to stay in Van, he wants to head over to New Jersey with his brothers. You cannot afford to lose him for nothing when his contract expires in 2 years. Either you trade him before then or you resign him. You got no other choice. And here’s the thing. Turns out that idea might actually not be too exclusive to what Gary Mason and the Glob and Mail is going out there and publishing. Maybe not even to the fan base itself. Because this is what Rick Dollywal ended up saying on the Donnie and Dolly and Sportsnet 650 Kucks Talk crossover episode this morning. He believes internally the Vancouver Conucks feel it’s better to trade Hughes this season if he is not ready to commit to the Conucks long term. And just the acknowledgment that this idea could even exist remotely in the Kucks management’s brains is a good realization. Yes. Okay. Of course, it’s not like they wouldn’t ever think that trading Quinn Hughes is possible. They said they want to keep him forever, of course. But at the same time, it’s like, yeah, no, you think about the circumstances of this team, his contract, whether or not the Conucks are good or bad or whatever, they probably could open the door to the idea of a Quinn Hughes trade should things not go their way. should he decide that he doesn’t really want to stay here. Now, the question as to whether or not you would actually get value for Quinn Hughes on the table is another thing because hey, I don’t know if you noticed, unless you’re trading Quinn to New Jersey, any other team that acquires him is probably not going to keep him around for long either. Unless the other two Hughes in New Jersey orchestrate some big grand contract scheme that will allow them to all go to another team at another time. That’s totally beyond the scope of our imagination at this point. But I wonder if a team would be willing to shell out full assets and full value for Quinn Hughes. Mostly because they would know that he’s not going to commit to them either. Unless of course it’s like a Mika Rantin situation where he goes over to a brand new team and he’s like, “Yeah, okay. I’ll just sign here even though I didn’t really want to leave the other team in the first place. Is that possible? Who really knows? Quinn was born in Orlando, Florida, and I think he was raised in Toronto. Had some parts of his growing up in Michigan. So, there are a number of teams that you could say have a hometown element to Quinn Hughes. But, of course, we got to wait and see. Now, I don’t want to make it seem like I think that Quinn Hughes would fetch nothing. I do think that there is some value you could get out of him, especially in this market where players that are good just aren’t available on trades or in free agency. And it looks like they’re not going to be available for a while as long as teams have this extended cap. But ultimately, Quinn Hughes, hey, if he’s in the market, who knows? Now, speaking about a guy who was on the market, let’s turn our attention over to David Comp of the Vancouver Conucks. Of course, he’s a newly acquired Vancouver Kuck, recently signed in free agency. He left $3 million on the table to leave Toronto because he was not getting NHL development time. Turns out that NHL development time seemed to have been one of the biggest aspects as to why Comped signing in Vancouver in the first place. You see, this is what was posted about on Twitter by Kucks News Summaries. It’s a summary of Elliot Freriedman and his appearance on Donnie and Dolly 2 days ago on Monday. He essentially dives into why KF decided to come to Vancouver and compares the situation to some of the other opportunities in the NHL. Take a look at what Freriedman said on Comp here. He’s not much of an offensive threat. two-way center is a euphemism for a forward that can defend. His last salary was bigger than his actual value, so he was overpaid in Toronto and he wasn’t a stylistic fit with Craig Maru. Ken check, he can defend and he can kill penalties. He also wants to play in the Olympics and was concerned that if he had stayed in the AHL, it would jeopardize his Olympic chances. He’s extra motivated now to make that check team. Now, of course, there is a Czech connection in Vancouver with Yuri Patera, Phil Heronic. So, oh yeah, Filipedo also. That’s really interesting. Realistically, all of these guys could have opportunities to making the Olympic team. Actually, could Beta make it? I don’t know. Over Doal, over Jakob Doves. I mean, VTEC Vanichek is also in there. I don’t know. There is a pretty big hump for Patera to go over if he wants to make the Olympic team. But this was the biggest selling point for Vancouver. The fact that they had such a big hole at Second Line Center. They had random guys filling it in. They had Atu Ratu. They had I don’t know Max Sassin. Just toss out whichever name you want to fill in that spot. They had so many guys rotating around second se because no Filipedal Ilas Person number one se is being tasked with doing everything all the heavy lifting for this Conucks team. David Comp probably saw that and he said, “Yeah, okay. Do I want to be a fourthliner on a Stanley Cup contending team? Do I want to be an extra piece on a squad that will continue to try to win the cup? Or do I go to a struggling team and be given top six minutes and potentially show off my value to the folks evaluating the Olympic squad? Why not just go to Vancouver? I can get some money and play some hockey at the National Hockey League level. This is a guy who had only played four AHL games this year. No NHL games up until the first game against Florida. He didn’t look particularly good, but they did just only catch him up to speed on their systems an hour or something before the game actually began. So, I don’t expect Comp to be this bad for the rest of his time in Vancouver. He’ll definitely get his feet under him and get going once he gets a little more attuned to what the Canucks are trying to do. He’ll be fine, but good enough to make the Olympic team. I don’t know. We’ll see. That’s what he wants. But let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. Whether or not you think Conf is good enough to accomplish that. Also, what are your thoughts on a Quinn Hughes trade? Do you think it’s actually something we should be talking about? Let me know in the comments all your opinions about the conversation itself. Not even about the trade, but just the mere resemblance of a discussion involving Quinn Hughes leaving Vancouver. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
