Sekeres and Price: Laurence Gilman (former AGM of the Maple Leafs, Canucks, Phoenix) on the Sekeres and Price Show on Vancovuer Canucks president Jim Rutherford’s comments about Quinn Hughes wanting to play together with his brothers.
“Jim Rutherford, this just isn’t his first rodeo. He’s obviously a really veteran General Manager, and veteran general managers don’t say things off the cuff.
My initial thought in hearing that and seeing that was that they’ve been placed on notice by the Hughes camp. Whether it’s by the player or whether it’s by his agent, Pat Brisson, that in the event that they don’t turn the fortunes of this hockey club around inside two, inside two 12 months period when Quinn’s contract expires, that he’s going to hunt to play together with his brothers.
And you recognize, in the event you take a look at it, that they’ve a 12 months to sort this out. Because in the event that they go into the last 12 months of that deal, and this guy’s not done, and he’s told them, that is where I’m headed, they’re, they’re, they’re in the identical boat that Calgary, the Calgary Flames were in with, with, with, with Matthew Tkachuk a number of years ago.
NHL Rumors: Will the Vancouver Canucks Trade Elias Pettersson? Will There be Interest?
So thought it was incredibly interesting. I’d not be altogether shocked in the event that they get a phone call from the Latest Jersey Devils, mainly saying, So what’s it going to take? And you recognize, in the event you’re talking to the Devils, they’re a team that has a plethora of excellent young players and prospects.
You realize, there might be the makings of a deal there. Not that, I’m not that. I believe it’s going to occur anytime soon, but they’re a team that does have the assets to make a trade like that.”
