The Quinn Hughes rumor mill continues to turn, and after recent chatter involving the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Vancouver Canucks’ captain is now being linked to another major NHL organization. The speculated team is the Detroit Red Wings, a franchise valued at approximately $2.11 billion, per Sportico.The discussion gained traction during a recent segment of the Sports Interaction podcast, where analysts DJ Bean and Pete Blackburn weighed in on Hughes’ uncertain long-term future.Bean suggested that if Hughes were moved anywhere other than New Jersey to join his brothers Jack and Luke, Detroit would be the most logical landing spot."If Quinn Hughes did get traded somewhere that wasn't New Jersey, the obvious destination would be Detroit, right? I would love Quinn Hughes in Detroit." Bean said.Blackburn agreed, adding that a Red Wings Hughes jersey would be “a top one NHL jersey.”"A white Quinn Hughes," Bean responded.Both analysts joked about immediately ordering a white Red Wings Hughes sweater if such a blockbuster deal ever materialized.The conversation then turned serious, with Blackburn emphasizing that any move involving Hughes must return a massive haul."I will also say, from a Canucks perspective, I don't know how many teams are beating the bones of a package in return? I love [Axel] Sandin-Pellikka. I love Nate Danielson. And if you're trading Quinn Hughes, you better get a f***ing haul." Blackburn said.Bean questioned whether the Red Wings would give up that package for only a year-plus of team control, given that Hughes cannot sign an extension until July 1, 2026. However, he argued that landing the player and giving him a taste of Detroit’s playoff atmosphere would be worth the risk."Yes, I mean, get the player, get him in that building, get him with that crowd, get a close run down the stretch to the playoffs, and get in which they absolutely can do," Bean said. "You're not leaving that."The Quinn Hughes situation amid Vancouver's strugglesThe Quinn Hughes situation stems from both trade speculation and his contract timeline. Hughes is signed with Vancouver through the 2026-27 season and will be a UFA in 2027. While some insiders insist he remains committed to the Canucks, rumors persist regarding his desire to win and the possibility of an eventual reunion with his brothers in New Jersey.Vancouver, meanwhile, needs clarity before risking losing their franchise defenseman for nothing. Hughes remains a standout performer, posting 22 points in 21 games while averaging over 27 minutes per night. But with Vancouver struggling at 10-13-3 and near the bottom of the Pacific Division, questions about Hughes’ long-term future continue to intensify.For now, Detroit joins the Maple Leafs and Devils on the growing list of franchises dreaming about the Canucks’ superstar blueliner.
