New Jersey Devils Receive Huge News in Their Attempts to Acquire Quinn Hughes from Canucks

The New Jersey Devils would jump at the chance to add Quinn Hughes to their lineup. In fact, any team would welcome a talent like him, but for the Devils, it would be particularly meaningful.

With Jack and Luke Hughes already on the roster, uniting all three brothers should be a key goal for Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald.

Nick Villano from Puck And Pitchforks writes that as the season wrapped up for the Canucks, there was a sense of stunned silence. Team president Jim Rutherford even mentioned going after Jack and Luke Hughes, a remark that revealed just how desperate the situation had become. Although the team narrowly avoided tampering allegations, the comment suggests they may already accept that their captain is likely on his way out.

For fans eager to see Quinn Hughes join the Devils soon, this development is as promising as it gets. Tocchet was perhaps the main factor keeping Hughes in Vancouver, even with his brothers playing in Jersey.

We'll have to wait and see if both teams can pull off the Hughes family reunion in what might be the biggest trades to occur in NHL history.
