I wonder how much Hughes wants sign a contract extension IF this season turns out to be bad. Bad as in no playoffs, again.

The team and coach Foote can still turn their season around if they improve their defensive play and penalty killing. We are still early into the regular season now.

If you are Hughes, how many seasons of failure can you tolerate with this team?

It's not about getting the captain getting traded. The ultimate decision is about whether the captain wants to play for this team for multiple seasons after a contract extension.
Like what Rutherford said after the end of last season. Whether Hughes stays with the Canucks or not may not come down to money.

The Canucks have had another subpar start to their season.
