Paul Bissonnette is a host of Spittin' Chiclets, and doesn't report on huge stories, until today. The NHL Insider reported that the New York Rangers are a prime landing spot for the Hughes brothers (Quinn, Luke, and Jack) should they all leave their current teams one day.
Paul Bissonnette reported today that the Hughes brothers would love to play together on the same team someday in the NHL.
While two of them already suit up together in New Jersey, Quinn is stuck with the Vancouver Canucks. All three of them are set to become free agents in the NHL at the end of the 2026-27 NHL season.
An opportunity for Chris Drury to land two superstar players and a developing defenseman in Luke Hughes.
Paul Bissonnette reveals the brothers' desire to play on the same team together
It seems unlikely that all all three of them would be able to line up together in New Jersey or Vancouver.
According to reports from Bissonnette, they'd love to land in a neutral territory:
"I've heard rumblings that someone in the family wants them to be Rangers. Depending on how the next 1, 2 years go, I would assume they all end up and stay in New Jersey."
While this seems incomprehensible, it might be. The Rangers would have the cap space to make it work next season, but the question is, would they want to put that much capital into three players?
None of the last two Stanley Cup-winning rosters had three brothers on the same team, and arguably, the Panthers only had one or two stars in the lineup (Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksandr Barkov).
It is nice to think about, but how practical is it really?
