Detroit doesn't accept but it isn't because of value. The player drafted with that pick along with Edvinsson will have a longer impact on the team than Hughes would with his 4 years left until free agency. Hughes isn't going to magically take this team to the next level of contention and honestly this team is still likely 2-3 years from it. There would likely be a different team that could pay similar assets for a player of Hughes caliber and maybe even more. Teams that come to mind are the Islanders, the Hurricanes, possibly the Blue Jackets and possibly the Rangers.
