Detroit is reportedly monitoring Quinn Hughes closely as the Canucks navigate a crucial season. The 25-year-old defenseman has been part of trade conversations ever since Canucks management hinted at his desire to eventually play alongside his brothers, Jack and Luke Hughes, both with the New Jersey Devils.Vancouver isn\u2019t actively looking to move him, but a disappointing season could make Hughes hesitant to commit long-term, prompting the team to consider options. His ties to Michigan playing in the USA Hockey National Team Development Program and spending time with a collegiate program in the state make the Red Wings a natural landing spot.<\/p>\n
