It's been a couple of days since J.T. Miller was traded to the Rangers, and there is already speculation about Quinn Hughes and if he still desires to be a Canuck despite the rumors of a rebuild.
Hughes' agent Pat Brisson was pretty outspoken amid the rumors to Hughes not being happy with the Canucks.
He made it very clear that the Norris winning defenseman wants to remain in Vancouver, but understands that his contract expires in two years, and a lot can happen between now and then.
"I think people should settle down. It's a long way away, and just let him play. He loves being a Canuck. He's been given every role, and he's happy, so let's just get this team going strong, and that will take care of itself."
