Wouldn't be shocked if they play better in the short term though...that couldn't have been easy on the lockeroom, best player is like nah, I'm out.
Actually they knew they weren’t going to sign Hughes as of last offseason, according to Rutherford it was highly unlikely he would re-sign. When your franchise player and best defenceman in team history wants out you probably aren’t “going for it”.
