Brad Marchand weighs in on report claiming 95% chance of Quinn Hughes' exit from Canucks before season ends

Florida Panthers star Brad Marchand weighed in on a report claiming a 95% chance of Quinn Hughes exiting before the season ends.

It was TSN analyst Mike Johnson’s percentages that predicted a 95% chance of Hughes leaving the Canucks before the end of the season.

"I would say it's 95% he's not playing in Vancouver," Johnson said.

Reacting to the report, Marchand commented:

"If your two bros were locked up on the same team...where would you sign...little common sense here."

Quinn Hughes is currently signed to a six-year, $47.1 million contract with the Canucks, making him an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2026-27 season.

According to reports, there's a high likelihood that Hughes departs the Canucks if they continue to struggle in the league.

NHL insider speculates potential trade package for Quinn Hughes

The New Jersey Devils are one of the teams most heavily linked to Quinn Hughes, largely due to his brothers Jack and Luke already playing for the Devils.

NHL insider Nick Kypreos recently broke down the potential trade package the Devils could offer to acquire Quinn Hughes.

"It’s far from a certainty that there’s any deal to do here between now and March, but Simon Nemec’s name is certainly out there along with Dawson Mercer, and any of New Jersey's first-round picks in the next three years would be in play." Kypreos wrote via Sportsnet.

Quinn Hughes has accumulated 22 points through two goals and 20 assists in 25 games this season. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks sit at the bottom of the league with an 11-15-3 record and 25 points.

The Canucks host the Buffalo Sabres at Rogers Arena next on Thursday. The puck drops at 10 p.m. ET.
