Player Discussion Quinn Hughes, Pt. VII

[PuckMunchkin]

I could stand corrected, but other than the Sedins and the Steamer, Stan Smyl, I'm trouble remembering anyone who spent their entire NHL career as a Vancouver Canuck. And retired with the blue and green still on their backs.

One reason for this is that we have no cups.

The players go chase them elsewhere.

But Quinn Hughes needs to be the 'fourth' lifetime Canuck. Back up the Brinks truck, and give him whatever he wants. He's the franchise's first Norris Trophy winner and an automatic first ballot Hall-of-Famer, if he stays healthy.

It's a complete 'no brainer' that he spends his entire career in Vancouver.

The highest scorer out of those 3 mentioned and isn't a Canuck currently (Pettersson, Boeser, Hughes) is Dennis Kearns. Followed by Gary Lupul, Ivan Hlinka, Jiri Bubla. After that it is Jake Virtanen lol. The goalie with the most outside of Demko is Frank Caprice and, to be honest, I have no idea who Kaprice is.

They need to prioritise resigning Quinn Hughes, but doubt he’s in a rush to do so unless we can show some relative progress in the post season.

Does he become the highest paid d-man in NHL history? Has to be at least 12 mil AAV, you'd think. I think 12 would quite honestly be a discount compared to his effectiveness.
