Dreaming Of The Hughes Brothers In Vancouver

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,

While Quinn went seventh overall to the Canucks, Jack is, as we speak, the consensus No. 1 overall pick in 2019.

The Sedins, the best brothers tandem ever to play together in the NHL have retired. The Canucks are expected to finish within trading distance of the No. 1 spot in the draft.If lightning struck once, why not again?...

There is symmetry here, even if much of it exists in the dreamy world inhabited by Canucks fans. They had the Sedins, through Burke’s chicanery at the 1999 draft.

Why not the Hughes brothers as well?

The two combined for a game-winning goal late in a game against Canada early in this Showcase, with Jack setting up Quinn. They have rarely played on the same team in their lives, though there still exists some ‘Sedinery’ between them.

“I think there’s a connection there,” said Team USA coach Mike Hastings. “They both know that the other one is a pretty good player.”
