Vancouver Canucks – Quinn Hughes
NHL Rumors: Is Quinn Hughes on the move out of Vancouver?
Per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils have held talks regarding the future of Quinn Hughes. Friedman said that he does“not believe there is anything imminent” regarding Hughes. Friedman did say, though, “a conversation was had between the two clubs “about where things stand and where they might be going.”
No doubt Quinn would love to be playing with his two brothers, Jack and Luke, in New Jersey.
