Canucks HC Optimistic About Star Defender's Future

As the upcoming NHL season draws nearer as the preseason begins to draw to a close, more headlines surrounding the Hughes brothers are bound to appear.

This was only further fueled by middle brother Jack Hughes. The New Jersey Devils star alluded to a possible future of uniting all three brothers — Luke (youngest, currently also with New Jersey) and Quinn (eldest) — on the same roster with the Devils at the recent NHL Player Media Tour.

"This is the headline question, you know?" Jack previously said. "Honestly, I’m not afraid to say it. Yeah, I would love for Quinn to, eventually I’d love to play with him. And whether that’s in New Jersey or at what time that takes, at some point I want to play with Quinn. But yeah, that’s the question going around. They talk all day about it up in Vancouver, you know? But yeah I’d love to play with Quinn at some point."

Now, it's already been established that Quinn's contract does not expire until 2027, making the possibility of him coming to New Jersey before so practically impossible.

But still, rumors and headlines swirled over the possibility of all three brother swearing the same jersey, much to the dismay of the Vancouver Canucks franchise.

Quinn — the current Canucks captain — currently has 409 points on his career so far across 59 goals and 350 assists. However, Quinn has previously said he’s remaining focused on his present with the Canucks.
