I don’t think that does it. The only reason it might is that clearly Vancouver knows Hughes wants to go to NJ… but then that is a problem for the Leafs also, and now you have given up probably the 2nd best player on the team.
I wish they could get Hughes. one of the top 2 dmen in the league is just about as valuable as an elite 1st line center, which the Leafs also no longer have.
Sorry, thought it was just nonsense wishes lol
The closest tie the leafs have is a former coach lol
Anyways, go leafs go 👍
