Proposal: Q. Hughes to NJ

As a Canucks fan I wanted to see this type of proposal coming from NJ fans on draft night to counter balance al of the offers they were throwing up to acquire the first pick from NJ to see their reaction.
Feels different when you’re on the other side of the offer.
Why is that not even close? Ty Smith alone is close to as good as Hughes. NJ's 2020 first could easily be a top 10 pick. If I'm Vancouver I'm taking that package all day.

Hall is less valuable than the package listed above. He has one year left on his deal.

Smith is nowhere near as good as Hughes. Hughes has that offensive dynamism that only guys like Makar/Karlsson have rn.

Happens every year.
*Team wins 1st overall
"How can we also get the 2nd overall?"

it's not perfect, but Smith as the main piece + a first + Mc is more than legit...
New jersey overpaying here... by kind of a lot
Lol bad for vancouver. You can keep TY.
Quinn is showing he is the real deal. A puck moving dman that has 1D potential the canucks havent had in years. Yeah he aint going nowhere even if you offer someone else like hischier.
Hischier gonna be a RNH tier player while quinn will be an elite 1D that can quarterback pps.
Means nothing in NJ that can pry quinn away from canucks. Better and easier to just send jack hughes to canucks

Us asking for Quinn is as ridiculous as them asking for Jack.
It’s just not going to happen.

This is a more than fair proposal. People are overrating their own prospects as usual. I'm not sure I do it as a Devils fan because there is still the slight chance that we suck again next year and that becomes a lottery pick. What if Taylor Hall refuses to sign long-term and they have to trade him?

I get Vancouver not wanting to do this but that’s a pretty good package. Ty Smith is really good.
So Ty Smith+LaFreniere is still not enough for Quinn? Nucks fans are overrating Quinn big time

Ty Smith looks like a good prospect, but I don't think he's very close to Quinn. If you think he is, then by all means keep him. Canucks have absolutely no interest in moving one of their very, very few blue chip prospects for a lesser prospect + random pieces they don't really need.
NJ + Hughes + Hughes + healthy Hall + another year of development for Hischier is a playoff bubble team, if not just straight up a playoff team. Their unprotected first is probably closer to 15th overall than 5th overall.
McLeod looks to be progressing decently well, but he's a player the Canucks just don't really need. We have Pettersson, Horvat, Gaudette as our top 3 centers and they're all 24 or under and they'd all be ahead of McLeod on the depth chart.
No interest.

The offer wasn't Ty-Smith + LaFreniere. Try again.

The difference between Hughes and Smith is definitely not more than an unprotected 1st + McLeod. You can love Hughes, but Smith has top pair potential as well.

Ty Smith is such an underrated player on HF and elsewhere.Devils fans would be stupid to package him for anything other than a real deal star.
Prefer to keep him, though I think Quinn is phenomenal too. Ultimately, they're different styles of players and both are useful

Nope. Q. Hughes May be better than Ty but I’m sorry the gap isn’t by that much. No way I’m throwing an unprotected 1st as well when no one has any idea of how next season will shake out. If the devils ended up w another top 10 pick next year it would be an overpayment for sure. Ty looks like he has all the capabilities to become a damn good productive first pairing dmen and potentially a #1. Both teams fans are better off stopping the proposals to get the Hughes brothers to play together.
