Quoting: TheAlien
Canucks are under no obligation to make a trade. That's the price, if they don't like it so be it we'll keep Hughes
Neither team is obligated to make the trade.
Not saying I want or would trade QH, the kids a stud, however I think if Vancouver can net:
- Future top pairing D that can play either side,
- Future middle six goal scoring forward
- First round pick in a deep draft
- Add cap flexibility to sign EP40 to a long term contract that will provide significant value down the road
- Add additional cap flexibility
Then it's at least worth considering. If NJ wanted to swap Holtz for Foote it would be a no brainer, but no brainer trades don't happen very frequently.
