Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald dodges question about potentially bringing Quinn Hughes to NJ

Earlier last month, Canucks top executive Jim Rutherford had openly mentioned that he thinks Quinn Hughes might want to join his brothers, who both play for the New Jersey Devils.

Devils general manager Tom Fitzgerald, however, kept things quiet at the team’s season-exit interview while addressing the matter.

“I’m not going to speculate on a comment [about] another team’s player,” said Fitzgerald when asked about potentially adding the third Hughes brother.

“You’d have to ask Jim about the comment. For me, we’re going to evaluate our own team, where we need to upgrade and some things. I can’t comment on another player.”

Quinn Hughes has only two years left on his current contract with the Vancouver Canucks. After that, he can choose to leave the team as a free agent but has not openly voiced his desire to play with his brothers in New Jersey.
