The Quinn Hughes situation could get interesting around the Olympics
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman, on the Quinn Hughes situation with the Vancouver Canucks. Things can get interesting around the Olympics.

Friedman: “And I’ll tell you another one, I mean, I think with Vancouver, 30th in the NHL, with the Quinn Hughes situation hanging over them, I think this is a team they’re going to hear a lot more about as well.”
NHL Injuries: Bruins, Wild, Preds, Devils, Blues, Leafs, Canucks and more
Justin Bourne: “Add?”
Nick Kypreos: “What about the actual noise around Quinn Hughes and what 30th place does to that, Elliotte? Because we all have the impression that he wants to win now, and he has no visibility into that, we all believe he’s going to walk. Isn’t that where it’s leading us?”
Friedman: “Well, look, Nick, it doesn’t look good right now. There’s no doubt about it. You know, one of the things I noticed is I don’t know if they talked to him or what they did, but you know, last week it was after the game. It doesn’t bother me that much.”
But he, if you noticed him a few weeks ago, like him, he looked really miserable, and he’s kind of changed that. So I think if you’re the captain you don’t actually have to, he tried to hide that from time to time. And I think he’s done a better job.
For me, Nick, it comes down to me, I’m curious, for me I’m curious to see where everyone stands on the Olympic deadline, because at the Olympics, at the Olympics. Because the Olympics start a month before the trade deadline, but it also gives everyone time to catch their breath and figure out what they’re looking at.
NHL Rumors: Vancouver Canucks will make the market come to them
That’s the big time for me this year. Where is everyone at the deadline, at the Olympic tournament? Hughes will be there. Maybe these conversations are happening while he’s playing there.
