Quinn Hughes’ future with the Vancouver Canucks is now a hot topic among NHL analysts and fans alike, particularly with the recent departure of head coach Rick Tocchet and the uncertainty surrounding the team's direction. Hughes, who is under contract for two more seasons, has expressed a desire to play alongside his brothers, Jack and Luke Hughes, both of whom are key players for the New Jersey Devils. Analyst Pierre McGuire suggests there may be more truth to the rumors of Quinn potentially moving to New Jersey, given Canucks president Jim Rutherford's recent remarks about the situation.

With a standout season behind him, where he tallied 76 points in 68 games and was a finalist for the Norris Trophy, Hughes has solidified his status as one of the league's elite defensemen. As the Canucks aim to keep him in Vancouver, they have to contend with the possibility of losing their captain to a team where he could reunite with family. The situation is further complicated by the lack of clarity on the Canucks' coaching staff and overall strategy moving forward, which could influence Hughes' decision.
