But they do want him back, and are still working to try and sign a new deal.

Management was pleased with Jack Adams' trophy-winning coach’s work this year .

J.T. Miller-Elias Petterson rift was a big part of that, stemming from an unfortunate incident” that “hurt the chemistry of the team,” said Jim Rutherford .

In our control if we brought those brothers here,” Rutherford said, before acknowledging he had to “be careful with (trade) tampering” and “probably crossed the line” with the comment. “This franchise cannot afford to lose a guy like Quinn Hughes and we will do everything we can to keep him here, but at the end of the day , it’ll be his decision.”.
