Vancouver Canucks' Adam Foote Discloses Conversation He Had With Quinn Hughes About Ongoing Trade Rumours

"It may not boil down to money with [Quinn]. He said before he wants to play with his brothers. That would be partly out of our control. In our control if we brought his brothers here." Rutherford said.

"One thing I'm really good at - or have gotten good at - is I'm very present. I can't even sign for another year, so there's nothing I can do. As far as the noise (about his future), I can handle the noise. That's why I'm the captain of the team, because I can handle these things and I can play at an elite level and it doesn't matter what's going on around me." Hughes said.

"Quinn and I spent a good couple of hours alone. It was a real good talk about where he may be now or later." Foote said.

He added, "And for me, I honestly think he's going to be a Canuck. I think it's all blown up, I'm not sure how much he wants to play with his brothers or not. And I'm not going to get too deep into it. I said to him [that] I'm the type of person, I think he understands me. Of course I want him here, I'm just going to coach each day at a time.

I see him here now, I see him here for these two years, I see him here in the future. And if we do what we can do, and he buys into the process and he's having fun - we're winning some hockey games - we'll just let everything take care of itself."
