has built a stable of prospects, and to be honest, it’s not a fit for what Hughes wants either.”
Red Wings and Devils in the Lead
The Detroit Red Wings and New Jersey Devils remain the most realistic landing spots for Quinn Hughes. According to one source, the Red Wings are currently best positioned if Vancouver decides to move Hughes.
With Hughes still with the Canucks, all eyes are on whether Vancouver will decide to trade him. The 24-year-old defenseman has been a key player in Vancouver’s lineup this season, contributing two goals and 20 assists in 25 games.
Future Implications
The lack of interest from major teams like the Bruins and Penguins highlights the current trade landscape for top defensemen. As Hughes’ contract situation is closely watched, his future remains uncertain. For now, the focus for Vancouver will be on finding a destination that aligns with both the team’s rebuild goals and Hughes’ career aspirations.
As we continue to monitor these developments, one thing is clear: Quinn Hughes’ next chapter in the NHL could see him move to a new team or even potentially return to his hometown of Detroit. The coming weeks will reveal whether any of these scenarios play out.
