Vancouver Canucks president floats Hughes brothers unification idea [Video]

Could the Vancouver Canucks once again become home to the NHL’s top brother act?

Possibly, if comments made by the team’s president about captain Quinn Hughes turn out to be more than idle musings aimed at injecting hope into a disillusioned fan base.

Responding to a question about keeping the superstar defenceman in the Canucks fold long term, Jim Rutherford floated the idea of a Hughes brothers unification plan that would see Jack and Luke Hughes join Quinn in Vancouver Canuck colours. 

“It may not boil down to money with [Quinn]. He said before he wants to play with his brothers. And that would be partly out of our control. In our control [is] if we brought his brothers here,” said Rutherford.

“This franchise cannot afford to lose a guy like Quinn Hughes and we will do everything we can to keep him here.”
