Friedman: “I’ll say this, people don’t need to discuss it within the league. They don’t need to discuss Quinn Hughes. And I feel it’s because they know the way big a deal it’s. And so let me take everybody through it.
…
Now, at the tip of all of this, I used to be asking, Okay, we all know they like those guys. There’s got to be a Quinn Hughes component to this. And I got to inform you, Kyle, people don’t need to discuss it. They really don’t, since it’s such, it’s such a hand grenade for obvious reasons.”
Bukauskas: “Yeah, it’s like David Blaine’s escape routine.”
Friedman: “Exactly. I feel that it’s, I mean, you saw how careful I used to be talking about it on Saturday night. But then Quinn Hughes refers to Tom Fitzgerald as Fitzy within the post-game. And folks were like, he’s a Devil. He’s calling the GM by his nickname. I mean, we are able to all see this. Prefer it’s an enormous deal. And I feel for plenty of people, it’s, it’s kryptonite. They don’t actually need to pour gasoline on the fireplace.
But as I said, I feel once the Canucks put the memo out, I feel there was a conversation. And I don’t know who initiated it, and I don’t know exactly what was said, but I do know they talked not less than once. And I heard it was about, okay, where does every thing stand, and where are we going?
NHL Rumors: Sabres and Ukko-Pekka Luukonen, and the Canucks and Quinn Hughes
And, I did a podcast interview last week where I talked about Detroit. And I do consider that if Vancouver and Detroit desired to make a deal, I do consider there may be a deal to be made there, and I also think they’ve talked.
But I can inform you one team that absolutely doesn’t need to discuss it, and that’s Vancouver. Like they out and out refused. And I understand, since it’s their backyard. It’s a really, very sensitive thing for them.
So I’ll say is that this, I feel there are talks happening around Hughes, and it’s just difficult to handicap how long it’s going to take or where it’s going to find yourself.
I’ll inform you this. The opposite thing Kyle, it’s really interesting, and I even have not spoken to Hughes since we did the interview originally of the season within the media tour in Vegas. There are plenty of individuals who wish to debate whether or not he desires to play in Latest Jersey. Like, does he need to go there straight away? Is it his preferred destination? How would it not affect his brother, Luke, if Quinn’s there on the blue line, (Quinn) can be ahead of (Luke)?
NHL Rumors: Quinn Hughes Was Asked In regards to the Latest Jersey Devils Trade Talks
I don’t have a solution to this query, but I on the very least, I feel the Canucks and the Devils desired to try to seek out out the reply. In order that’s where I feel it’s. I feel that. I feel teams are talking with the Canucks about it, and we’ll see where it goes.”
