Proposal: Q. Hughes to NJ

[NJ DevLolz]

Even being a UFA I think he signs because we can offer him the Money/term.

The Devils can offer him more money and term than any other team, have two very good centers in the fold, and he's comfortable here. Not to mention he doesn't have to deal with the bat**** crazy Canadian media. Why the hell would he Vancouver over New Jersey

 

[nuxnuxnux]

As a Canucks fan the op is hard to pass up

 

[Ace of Hades]

Good value, but I'd still refuse as a Canucks fan.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

So Ty Smith+LaFreniere is still not enough for Quinn? Nucks fans are overrating Quinn big time

I would do Ty Smith and LaFreniere easily.. but that’s not being offered. It’s impossible for any team to offer Lafreniere until they win the 2020 lottery.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Considering the fact that most Devils fans were still holding onto the fantasy that Hischier is better than Pettersson well past the point of reason this season I’m going to predict no productive proposals are possible in this thread. Actually I’m sure there are still some Devils fans who feel Nico>Elias. It’s useless to discuss anything.

Let's reunite the Hughes brothers in New Jersey!

To New Jersey: Quinn Hughes

To Vancouver: Ty Smith, 2020 unprotected 1st rounder, Michael McLeod

This is actually a really decent proposal, something that would help both teams though I doubt the Devils would pull the trigger on it, Smith is really under rated.

Even so the 2020 draft is shaping up as a very good one and that Devils pick surely is another top 10 next year.

I don’t think it’s that safe to say the Devils pick will be that high

It was a hypothetical trade scenario from someone on his couch at home that has no ties to the situation. You want Quinn we want Taylor.

The Devils back end is still a joke, I'd give it any 85% chance that pick would be top 10 and the difference between Quin and Ty isn't as great as some are making out here.

Ty Smith put up a similar PPG playing against children while Quinn was playing against men in a much better league. Not a chance they’re even in the same conversation in my view.

 

[Thorvat]

Good value wise. However Q Hughes is the best player in this deal and has the highest upside and elite skating. Q Huhges suits the Canucks needs more than the sum of the parts coming back. Would be a no from me.

There's no way it's this certain. The Devils are not an awful team. Some depth, prime Taylor Hall, an older Hischier, plus add in Hughes, and this team could be anywhere next year. Who thought Calgary would pick 25-30 this year? Who thought Columbus would make the playoffs and potentially beat TB? And NYI would make the playoffs and potentially beat Pittsburgh? Three teams that could all pick 25-31 (ignoring trades). No one predicted that.

A lot of people had Calgary and Columbus making the playoffs this year

Smith had the better NHLe...nice try. Reilly Walsh put up the similar PPG as Hughes at the same age and he isn't even a top 5 prospect on our team.

Not sure that's enough for Vancouver. Would be foolish to trade a young A piece for a group of lesser pieces.

Think Q. Hughes+unprotected 1st for Hichier

Come on, seriously?

 

[JimEIV]

When did midget defensemen become all the rage?

 

[Bitz and Bites]

As a Canuck fan,I think the offer is fair but trading for an unknown pick a year away is risky and Hughes is looking like he’s going to be one of the most exciting players the team has ever had.
It’s gonna take an offer that blows us away to make us willing to part with him at this stage,we’ve suffered too long to start trading away our shiny new toys for lesser futures.

But did they have Calgary winning the conference? Did they have all three of those teams picking at the end of the round in the draft (ignoring trades)? I would be surprised if a single person predicted all of that. The point is, you can never know.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

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

Except Smith has out produced him so what exactly are you saying?

 

[Golden Puppers]

One guy played in the CHL, the other NCAA....what Hughes did in NCAA was more impressive than what Smith did in the WHL.

 

[780il]

Big difference playing in the WHL compared to the NCAA....

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

And thats, like, your opinion man

The numbers say otherwise

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Big difference playing in the WHL compared to the NCAA....

Not a big difference between Hughes and Smith
