Quinn Hughes Breaks most assists record in Canucks History for Defencemen in 537 Fewer Games

[Rowlet]

Gonna be hard to pass the Sedins. But he definitely can do it.

If he gets a Hart he probably does it

Didn't realize VAN was so lacking historically in offensive D until seeing that list.

It's funny, as a kid I'd see a lot of Canucks games on the back half of HNIC double headers and at that time I thought Matthias Ohlund was one of the best offensive dmen in the NHL. Now looking on hockeydb now his numbers were quite average. If you asked me how many points he was scoring a season when I was 13 I would have guessed like 50-60

That doesn't make it right

No but it makes his reaction to the picture weird.

Hughes is def that good, but man thats a sad list. Hotdam

The Canucks franchise has definitely been a stranger to great defensemen during their existence. We've had some good ones, sure, but it can't be understated how much of a revelation, and a novelty really, Hughes is for this team and the fans. Not only Hughes but anyone even in the same stratosphere as an elite #1.

Given how special Hughes is, you could say this is just things evening out for us. It would be like Nashville drafting a 150+ point forward.
