Quinn Hughes

So we'll kind of wait on that to see if we get something before the end of the show.

Here's what Bill Guerin had to say when asked about Quinn Hughes yesterday.

Well, there's nothing to talk about right now.

What am I going to do? Say, please, please, please.

I think some people want to make this more complicated than it really is being the media.

And it's not that complicated.

Well, I think expectations in Minnesota are so different now, right? Like I think there's other teams that can sit and wait and hope that there's a better situation to come, but like they're in a situation now where you have to win and you're in this window and Quinn Hughes, because what you gave up to get them, that's the biggest question mark now.

And then the other side of it is like, you're sitting here and it feels like, as you see New Jersey start to collect Connor Hellebach and he has his two brothers and the writing feels like it's on the wall.

I'd like to start in Minnesota with Bill Guerin, who did a radio hit on Minnesota Radio, the Chad Hartman Show on WCCO in Minnesota.

And he was asked a couple questions about Quinn Hughes.

We've talked about him a little bit on this show and the fact that he's a pending UFA.

And there's still no extension in place.

Some quotes that have gone around from that interview on Minnesota radio.

There's one that sticks in my head right now pertaining to Quinn Hughes from Bill Guerin.

And I understand this might be part of what he was saying.

There's nothing to talk about right now.

Exactly.

Depending on, you know, let's see if they keep Quinn Hughes here, but...

That's a pretty strong top four, but you also have to figure out that they're missing John Marino, right? When John Marino comes back, the top four becomes Sergeyev, Uyghur.

Right now it's Schmidt.

I just want to give a shout-out to my pickup of the season, Joel Erickson-Eck.

Minnesota's a one-line team, and guys, we are going to have some conversations about Quinn Hughes over the next couple months on this podcast, so buckle up for that.

But Jake, for now, we buckle up for Monday, week six, waiver wire edition of the podcast coming up.

Can't wait.

So does it happen today? I hope so, because it would give us a lot to talk about on Friday and heading into the weekend.

And if I'm to guess, boys, is it Minnesota? Is Billy G finally going to make a play for Dylan Larkin, try to keep Quinn Hughes around long-term, which I still don't think might work, but...

I'd love to see Larkin end up in Minnesota today, so hopefully it happens.

Do you think there's a wildcard team in there, a.k.a. the New Jersey Devils, that would be willing to take a swing at Dylan Larkin?

What do you make of these Team USA guys, basically, just kind of picking where they want to play and dictating it, even though they have contracts with term left on them? What do you make of that?

Well, a little entitled.

It's kind of ridiculous that it's got to this point, but i guess that's what happens when you end up winning a gold medal and obviously all that goes to their head but like you just look at it all kind of starting with brady kachuk actually it might have even started before that but like brady virtually got to pick his spot uh go on to florida with his brother and obviously quinn hughes now potentially going somewhere else like well a lot of it too is like players going out of canadian markets and into american markets and wanting to win but like you just hear what Dylan Larkin said it was probably under a year ago maybe a year ago like just saying he wants to win in Detroit he wants to be the guy that leads the Detroit Red Wings to a Stanley Cup I almost don't blame Larkin but other players I kind of don't understand it especially with a Hellebuck and a Brady Kacok in Canadian destinations but like with Larkin like Might have stuck it out there if I was with him.

But he won a gold medal.

But my first blush is, I guess maybe it's not a trade today, but they're probably just keeping him out of the lineup.

to protect their asset dylan larkins wanted to trade for how long now and still weird watching him play hockey for the wings without the t on his chest so does it happen today i hope so because it would give us a lot to talk about on friday and heading into the weekend and if i'm to guess boys like is it minnesota like is billy g finally going to make a play for dylan larkin try to keep quinn hughes around long term which i still don't think might work but um i'd love i'd love to see larkin end up in minnesota today so hopefully it happens

Look at you.

What do you make of these Team USA guys, basically, just kind of picking where they want to play and dictating it, even though they have contracts with term left on them? What do you make of that?

Well, a little entitled.

It's kind of ridiculous that it's got to this point, but i guess that's what happens when you end up winning a gold medal and obviously all that goes to their head but like you just look at it all kind of starting with brady kachuk actually it might have even started before that but like brady virtually got to pick his spot uh go on to florida with his brother and obviously quinn hughes now potentially going somewhere else like well a lot of it too is like players going out of canadian markets and into american markets and wanting to win but like You just hear what Dylan Larkin said.

It was probably under a year ago, maybe a year ago, like, just saying he wants to win in Detroit, he wants to be the guy that leads the Detroit Red Wings to a Stanley Cup.

Number four on the list.

Give me Quinn Hughes.

Yeah, Quinn Hughes.

Yeah.

Mitch Gallo.

Uh, but we had another, uh.

should I say reunion, uh, between Quinn Hughes and the city of Vancouver, which a lot of people hyped up after the Brady game saying, Oh, this is going to be as bad as the Brady game.

I'm going to be honest.

I didn't think so just because I see the Quinn situation and Brady and Hellebuck, which we'll get into in a second and Larkin to be very different.

It's all very interesting.

We still don't know what he's going to do.

Some are saying because Connor Hellebuck was traded to the New Jersey Devils, this means automatically Quinn Hughes is going.

I'm not believing that 100% yet.

And I don't think the Red Wings have an offer out there that wows them yet.

If you remember the Minnesota offer for Quinn Hughes that landed them Quinn, that was a wow offer.

I think they're waiting for that.

and and if you made me guess i'm like this isn't based on any information but if you made me guess dylan larkin's already expanded his list a couple times i think there's teams out there like montreal especially where the red wings really like the offers that are hypothetically on the table and i i would bet that it's one of the teams that's not on the 10 team list it just takes one or two more you know expansions of that list by larkin to get it done but Yeah, Lomis, I think he's on his way out, man, as much as it pains a lot of people to say.
