“Can you see Quinn Hughes not being interested in Detroit when the time comes? I think they’re very legit, and Detroit has centers, and centers have been playing in the NHL. I’m not talking about the depth guys. I think Detroit is a team to watch.
One thing that they’ve made very clear in Vancouver is they have to get another center. They need somebody to play behind Elias Pettersson. Their best chance to do it is if they end up trading Hughes. So, if that happens, I’m looking at teams that have a No. 2 center that can play with Pettersson, and Detroit has one of those guys.”
