• Speaking Sept. 10, Canucks captain Quinn Hughes said he is happy in Vancouver, emphasized existing contracts, and said he took no offense to Jack’s comments.
• Quinn has two seasons left on his six-year deal and can reach unrestricted free agency in 2027; Jack is signed through 2030, while Luke Hughes is a Devils restricted free agent.
• Canucks president Jim Rutherford previously noted Quinn’s desire to play with his brothers and suggested Vancouver could try to acquire Jack and Luke to help keep him.
