The Vancouver Canucks are on the hunt for a new head coach following Rick Tocchet's departure, while questions arise about team captain Quinn Hughes' response to the change. Canucks president Jim Rutherford revealed that Hughes has yet to return his call regarding Tocchet's exit. Despite their strong relationship, Rutherford believes Hughes' maturity will help the team adapt. The Norris Trophy finalist expressed support for Tocchet at season's end, and his silence amid speculation about his future raises concerns for the franchise. Hughes, who is under contract until 2026, has expressed a desire to play alongside his brothers in New Jersey, potentially complicating his long-term commitment to Vancouver. Rutherford emphasized the importance of retaining Hughes but acknowledged the ultimate decision lies with the player.
