• Jack Hughes said at the NHL player media tour that he would love to play with his brother Quinn at some point, calling it the question everyone asks.
• Quinn Hughes answered a day later that the sentiment is natural between brothers, reiterated he is happy in Vancouver, and said his focus is on the upcoming season.
• Quinn has two seasons left on his six-year deal and could reach unrestricted free agency in 2027, while Jack is signed with New Jersey through 2030 and Luke remains an RFA in negotiations.
• Canucks president Jim Rutherford’s April remarks about Quinn wanting to play with his brothers and Vancouver’s turbulent 2024-25 season have fueled ongoing speculation, which Quinn described as external noise.
• A near-term path for the brothers to skate together exists with Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics, with Quinn already named among the first six selections and Jack widely projected for the roster.
