Toronto Maple Leafs fans jumped into the Quinn Hughes debate this week as trade rumors around the Vancouver Canucks captain reached a new level. With the Canucks sliding and his contract clock ticking toward 2027, talk has grown that the team may shift toward a rebuild. That has opened the door for fans across the league to pitch ideas, and Toronto supporters wasted no time weighing in.A hockey page on X floated a mock deal that sent Hughes to Toronto in a large package. The proposal had the Leafs landing the star defender while Vancouver received Scott Laughton, Calle Jarnkrok, Morgan Rielly, Nick Robertson, plus a pair of mid-round picks in 2026 and 2027.The idea grabbed attention from fans who reacted to Hughes' speculation.One supporter called for a full teardown, saying, "Scrap the roster and bring him in."Nicholas Edward Foles @FolesmaniaLINK@LeafsPapi_ Scrap the roster and bring him in"Lmao imagine thinking you could make a Hughes deal work without giving up Cowan, Knies, or a 1st round pick." Another fan pushed back hard at the mock deal.Josiah @NeverGoFullPerdLINK@LeafsPapi_ Lmao imagine thinking you could make a Hughes deal work without giving up Cowan, Knies, or a 1st round pick"Were you high when composing this list? Vancouver would be insane to take this deal - but it would be fabulous if they did!" one fan wrote.The responses show that the price for Quinn Hughes will be steep, and any real offer will need top prospects or premium picks. Here are some more reactions:"He’s going to Jersey 💯," one fan clarified."The Leafs would have to give him 20 mill per yr for him to stay. He WILL NOT take market value or even slightly above to stay here. He wants to go to jersey. If he were to sign here leafs would cap themselves again and be in the same situation now. Trying to find discount players," one fan raised concerns."That would actually help the Canucks a lot because they're lost AF right now," one fan took a jab at Canucks' season.Quinn Hughes's potential fit in Toronto's rosterQuinn Hughes has been linked most to New Jersey, where his brothers play, but other teams are also in the mix. The Maple Leafs have had a slow start with a 14-11-4 record. They have a struggling defense, and the idea of adding Hughes makes sense.The Leafs are allowing 3.17 goals per game, ranking tied for 20th in the league. Their power play is ranked 32nd, and Hughes has 2 goals and 9 assists on power play, showing his excellence in man-advantage.So, Toronto could strengthen that area with Quinn Hughes, but the Canucks hold leverage here.
