Now, I’m not saying Van will get a haul. But the contract is not prohibitive. 2 years is two cup runs for some teams, which could be huge to add Hughes to. And a lot can change. Even if Hughes wants to play in NJ, there’s no guarantee, so (like e’ve seen countless times) it’s entirely possible he finds a better fit than Vancouver and sticks there well beyond 2 years.
Either way, this idea that NJ can just wait this out until free agency has no actual basis in reality. It just doesn’t happen.

I am not saying they won't get a haul. I am saying they won't get a premium player like Hiescher or Bratt. Apples and oranges.
