Hughes Brothers Roster Will Be Impossible Until 2027

It's no secret that the entire NHL world wants to see the Hughes brothers reunited on the same roster.

The youngest Hughes brother, Luke, was drafted back in 2021. From oldest to youngest, Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes are a part of the top hockey families of the modern era — including their mother, Ellen, with ties to USA Hockey. Jack and Luke currently play for the New Jersey Devils, while Quinn is the captain of the Vancouver Canucks. While all three brothers have stated on multiple occasions that they’d love to share the ice together, Quinn's contract does not expire until 2027, making the possibility of him coming to New Jersey before so practically impossible.

But still, after meeting with the media on Tuesday afternoon, Jack brought up Quinn becoming a Devil once again.

Jack is arguably the most well-known of all three brothers, recording 70 points for New Jersey during the 2024-25 season prior to his shoulder injury.

He brought up the previously mentioned comment with Pierre Lebrun of The Athletic at the ongoing NHL Player Media Tour, alluding to a possible future with Quinn as teammates.

"This is the headline question, you know?" Jack 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."
