New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes revealed he hopes to one day that he’ll get to play with his brother, Quinn Hughes. With rumors out there that Quinn might jump to the New Jersey Devils, Jack seemed to flip the script a little during his NHL Player Media Tour interview, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic.

When asked directly about discussions with his brother regarding the possibility of playing together, Jack dropped a bit of a rumor bomb that a few were expecting. “This is the headline question, you know?” he said with a smile. “Honestly, I’m not afraid to say it. Yeah, I would love for Quinn to—eventually I’d love to play with him. And whether that’s in New Jersey or at what time that takes, at some point, I want to play with Quinn.”

The part of the quote that is catching people’s attention isn’t that the brothers would like to play together, but that Jack might be open to leaving New Jersey to make it happen. He has five seasons remaining on his contract with the Devils. Meanwhile, Luke (the other Quinn brother) is a restricted free agent in need of a new contract, and reports are that he wants a five-year deal so his contract ends at the same time as Jack’s.

“Whether that’s in New Jersey or…” That’s a very telling quote.
