NHL Rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins, Ottawa Senators, and Corey Perry

Quinn Hughes a centerman?

B/R Open Ice: Bruce Boudreau on when he was the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, someone in the organization wanted Boudreau to make Quinn Hughes a centerman and not a defenseman.

** NHLRumors.com transcription

Boudreau: “I gotta say this for the first time on TV, and I mean, I’m going, I’m not gonna say who, but somebody in that Vancouver organization tried to make me make Quinn Hughes a center last year.

Kevin Weekes: “What?”

Jackie Redman: “What?

Boudreau: “And I refused to do it and I said, I’m not making them a center. I’m not making them a center and they kept trying to put me to put Quinn at center and I am so happy I didn’t.

First of all, he would probably have not take it very well. Secondly, the year he’s having, a Norris Trophy kind of year. Boy, it’s quite a difference from him playing center on that team,

Redman: “Bruce coming out here and dropping spicy nuggets on this edition.”

Weekes: “That is, that is really, I can taste the buffalo sauce.

NHL Rumors: Johnston on some of the top names that could be traded

Boudreau: “I wanted to say that one thing for a year and a half, like I mean, for over, almost a year now because I think it was about this time that I was let go last year and, but I mean, I would sit there and shake my head and I’m going, Quinn Hughes is not playing center for this team player. He’s a defenseman.”
