mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Katchouk=The Missing Link? How much pull does the elder Hughes have with his 2 brothers? It would be easier to play out his deal and go to Jersey to play with them, however, it might be easier to win a cup here. Could he drag his brothers to MN? I don't know exactly what Guerin has in mind, but my suspicion is that we re-sign this guy. I think he'll like playing with Boldy and Kaprizov, and I think he'll like the tight locker room. By the way, for those keeping score, I'd like to put this up for conversation. The last time an elite player had decided not to re-sign longterm with his Canadian team was Matthey Tkachuk. Florida swooped in and grabbed him. It took a full season to revamp the team, but they then went on 3 great playoff runs. Tkachuk was up for a contract extension that July 1, and immediately was re-signed by Florida. Hughes can't be re-signed until this July 1. Somehow, I think Guerin has an inside track on knowing what the elder Hughes wants and can start talking to his agent. If Hughes is the competitor that Guerin thinks he is, he's in a locker room with the same type of competitors in Boldy and Kaprizov....and Ek. I think you can list Faber in that same conversation. He's never had a Brock Faber as a defensive partner. This could be the special situation he was looking for. Now, if only he knew of a #1C 🤔 I'm thinking our Olympic players need to do some recruiting during the Olympic break. Players can talk in the locker room. Guerin can talk with his American players without saying anything, but Boldy can talk with any of them. So can Faber. Could we see Faber and Hughes as an Olympic pair?

OldDutchChip Verified Member Posted 57 minutes ago Share Posted 57 minutes ago Hughes could leave at the end of the season…. QH is signed for another year my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will D. Ness Verified Member Posted 56 minutes ago Share Posted 56 minutes ago I'm not sure QH wants to go displace his brother Luke in NJ. Actually, doesn't that seem kind of psycho? Why do we entertain this narrative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredJohnson Verified Member Posted 15 minutes ago Share Posted 15 minutes ago New Jersey also has to beat whoever wins the West (if they pull a rabbit out and win the East) in order to win a Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
