Both teams say no.

Boston doesn’t need any more small defenseman.

Not a chance. Only a mammoth offer gets Hughes. That’s not close

YIKES wow a number 1 elite Dman for a #4 Dman, a #5 Dman, and a low ceiling prospect

Bear, Dermott, Lekkerimakki for Lindholm

I don't think you understand number 1 elite Dman. McAvoy is that. Hughes is a point producing PP specialist who's liable in his own end.

Yeah not even close

That's a pile of garbage

He is good defensively, he is carrying our AHL lvl defence while also being a point per game D man.

You haven't watched Hughes since the bubble

Can we stop doing traded with Vancouver? These teams don't match-up well. What Vancover needs are positions Boston isn't deep in. The players Vancouver is trying to sell are positions that Boston is already deep at this year.

If hughes is an elite something, it’s an elite number 2 d man. He has massive holes in his game that prevent him from playing a winning brand of hockey in all situations. That’s not a number one.

Agree this isn’t enough, but i really doubt boston would have any interest either.

He’s horrible defensively.

Hughes sucks, not interested. However, vancouver has tricked themselves into thinking he’s the key, so they have no interest either. Funny situation, but definitely a bad trade target.

This is a horrendously bad evaluation of Quinn Hughes

If your standard for #1 Dman is McAvoy, then you must think there are only 3 #1 Dmen in the league. Reality is Quinn Hughes is easily a top 15 defenseman in the NHL with excellent offensive instincts and skating ability. His defensive game has improved a ton as well
