Last Wednesday, Luke Hughes finally signed a seven-year contract worth $63 million (annual value $9 million) with the Devils. The defenseman, who had been a compensated free agent since July 1, still took three months to reach an agreement with New Jersey. This contract, which makes him the richest of the three Hughes brothers, also ensures that the Devils will retain the brothers' services for at least five years, while Jack's contract will expire in 2030.

Since Luke's signing, rumors have been swirling that the third Hughes brother, Quinn, is headed for New Jersey, and the three brothers have made no secret of their desire to play together on the same team.

And today, a video of Jack was published by BarDown in which he is asked, somewhat jokingly, by someone whose grandson wants to know when Quinn will arrive with the Devils and he replied that about Quinn, there are cameras around, so he can't say anything.

Without answering the question, his silence says a lot, and he seems to be aware that something is afoot. Let's just say it's likely to fuel the rumors.

However, Quinn is under contract for two years with the Vancouver Canucks and even though they had a tougher season last year, they aspire to return to the playoffs as soon as this season, so I don't see why they would trade their former Norris Trophy winner. The Devils would really have to let one or more pieces go.

The only way I can see the Canucks trading their defenseman this season is if they have a disastrous start to the season and quickly try to go for the Gavin McKenna lottery. On the other hand, I think it would be much more realistic for Quinn to sign with the Devils after his current contract at the end of the 2026-27 season and thus go on to play at least three years with his brothers.

But then again, you never know in the sports world and things can change very quickly. spacer title='Overtime'] – Who will stay?

– Sean Ferrala opens the scoring.

– Alex Belzile doubles the lead.
