A couple of Bill Guerin quotes about Quinn Hughes today, who didn’t sound all that confident:
“There’s nothing to talk about right now. What am I going to do, say ‘Please, please, please?’”
On the hypothetical in which QH still hasn’t made a decision after a while:
“I haven't really decided, at some point in time I'll have to try to figure things out and see what’s best for the team. I know one thing’s for sure: having Quinn on our team is what’s best for the team. And, you know, I don't know. I’ll be completely honest with you, I don’t know. I don't know what’s going to happen. I don't know what I’m going to do. There’s no date. What we're doing right now is focusing on our team and trying to win hockey games. That’s really it. I think some people want to make this more complicated than it really is — being the media. And it’s not that complicated."

Connor Hellebuyck will make his #NJDevils debut tonight in Dallas, per coach Sheldon Keefe.
This is almost as bad as that time the guy from Winnipeg said Winnipeg wasn't that awful because he had an above ground pool

This is a really disappointing and disrespectful shot at a New Jersey fanbase and market that is ultra passionate, fills the building on a nightly basis, and supports this team.
The crying and complaining out of Canada over this whole thing has been shocking. Please conveniently forget about Larking and Edvinsson asking out of Detroit, an American city. Werenksi and Marchenko asking out of Columbus, an American city.
You guys bring up how people care more about the Yankees, Giants, Knicks... All things Winnipeg and most Canadian cities do not have. The Winnipeg Metro area has 865,000 people. The NY Metro area has 20+ million.
Sorry we have two football, two basketball, two baseball, three hockey, two MLS, a WNBA, NWSL, and PWHL team. 14 professional sports teams.
Winnipeg is the smallest market in the NHL and the 31st most valuable franchise in the NHL compared to the Devils at 9th.
I'm 39 years old and the Devils have meant everything to me for my entire life. That goes the same for a lot of people.
There is a reason Winnipeg is on everyone's no trade list... and shows up at the top of those anonymous player polls.
Fact is, the spotlight is ultra focused there because of the much smaller community... and yes I know WPG has baseball and football but if we're talking about top leagues, there's one game in town there.
In NJ and the NY Metro, what you claim is "no one caring" is actually a population of more than 20 times that market, 14 pro sports teams, and less of a personal spotlight while the players and their families can enjoy some of the wealthiest/safest suburbs in the country, some of the best schools in the country for their kids, and access to NYC which is the cultural and financial hub of the entire world.
Lastly, the players can't control the questions the media asks. In fact, Connor Hellebuyck every chance he gets declines to say anything or answer any questions that would put down the city of Winnipeg or the fans... and if Cheveldayoff honored his trade request (trade requests happen all the time in the NHL) when it was amicable and not public... things would never have gotten this crazy.
I listen to your show all the time... Hayes... do better.
"It means no one knows who you are."
Hayes gives his blunt opinion on an interesting question to Connor Hellebuyck...

How is Winnipeg handling the trade? By not ironing their shirts
Connor Hellebuyck had his introductory press conference with the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.
One of the questions posed to him was just... incredible.

They definitely have NOT talked to Quinn about this. 0% chance. Quinn doesn't even have their phone numbers. Or Luke's. Guerin actually confiscated his phone. He's not allowed in the state of New Jersey either. But to be clear they definitely don't have a group chat.
I wish nothing but playoff losses and disappointment on the #NJDevils� and their fans, who have shown themselves to be giant jerks.
