Ever since the canx team president Jim Rutherford said last April that Quin “wants to play with his brothers,” there is speculation about when and where it can be reunited.

Luke and Jack are now under contract in New Jersey by 2030, while Quinn will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2026–27 season.

Luke said on Thursday, “I think the three of us would like to play together someday. Whether it will happen or not, who knows? We will see.” “But I know he loves Vancouver and he is the captain there. We like to live here. You never know. Never say.”

Luke signed a contract of seven years, $ 63 million on Wednesday, with an annual cap hit of $ 9 million. The 22-year-old Defenseman is entering his fourth NHL season and has 93 points in 155 matches as well as four playoff games.

A part of the training camp missed during a contract talks with Luke Devils. Six years with Vancouver, Quin Hughes 2021-22 also missed the share of the presiden during the free agent contract negotiations with Canx before signing a deal of $ 47.1 million. Luke said Quinn offered his approach as the conversation with the Devils continued.

,[He said] Just be patient and get what you want. As a family, we decided the deal and we are really happy with the result and are really excited to stay here for the next seven years, “Luke said.

Jack said that she did not have much advice to give her brother, given that she would never be through a “holdout” like a luke.

“I think it was important for him to make a deal that he was really comfortable,” Jack said. “I know that he is going to be ready to go for the weather, no matter what and you never want to miss time. But the most important thing is that you need a deal, with which you are comfortable.”

At the top of the missing a part of the training camp, the preparation of Luke for this season was interrupted with their recovery from the May shoulder surgery. Devils coach Sheldan Kef said that the team is considering what is working back in the lineup.

Luke said that he was a “bag” [skating] To play yourself back, home, to play five times a week. In his first day at the camp, he skated in two consecutive practice sessions to make lost time.

“This is a climb. It is a bit of a unique situation where he has not only missed the camp, but he too is coming out of a major shoulder surgery because he was last played,” said. “So we want to ensure that we give him the appropriate time. But he looks good. It is through all the medical and tests that people pass at the beginning of the camp normally, and it has become clean.”

Keefe said that it does not see a reason that Luke will not be ready for the devils’ regular session opener Carolina Storm On 9 October.
