The Vancouver Canucks are taking on Quinn Hughes and the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. This is the first time Hughes has skated in Vancouver as a member of the visiting team. With situations like Ottawa Senators fans trolling Brady Tkachuk recently , fans across the hockey world wondered how the fans would react to Hughes.
Canucks fans certainly did not disappoint. Vancouver fans loudly booed Hughes in his return to the city. They also took aim at Wild fans, as well. They trolled Minnesota and its fans with a simple three-word chant aimed at the superstar defenseman.
This chant evokes the ongoing contract situation Hughes and the Wild are embroiled in. The star defenseman is a free agent in July of 2027. He has not signed a new contract with Minnesota, either. Minnesota was comfortable with his contract status at the time of their trade with the Canucks to land Hughes last December.
Hughes had decided not to sign long-term with the Canucks prior to last year’s trade. He had spent his entire career with Vancouver prior to that decision. He helped Vancouver make the playoffs a few times. Most notably, they were a game away from the Western Conference Finals in 2024.
At this time, the Wild remain confident they can get some sort of deal done. However, time is certainly ticking. They need to get something done sooner or later to avoid losing him for nothing. Canucks fans made sure Minnesota and its fans didn’t forget that it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, even with Hughes currently on the team.
