If the Devils do not go for it then the Canucks counter offer should be a Petterson package for the 2 NJD Hughes.
Difficult situation as neither team will want spare parts for their star(s).

And if its bust? NJ can wait it out, Vancouver cannot. Sure they can trade him elsewhere as a rental. But as long as Hughes wants to end up with his brothers, NJ holds the leverage. They can lose Hischier, but likely don't have to.
NJ would have no interest in moving the brothers for Petterson.
