Quinn Hughes third fastest defenseman to 300 assists

I'm a Canucks fan and honestly 2 years is a huge gap for early career. But yes the quality of teammates is not particularly close, especially this year and some of the earlier years of Hughes' career. So it is ridiculous when you think about it, to be in this category.

Leetch is a good comparison for Hughes as a player in general. Fast, smart, controlling the game.

I’ve always thought Hughes would top out as Leetch like dman good to see him meet his potential.

His overall game has levelled up from last year as well.

Yep. And Coffey was a huge cog in that team, and inflated their numbers the same way they inflated his.

You have to kind of chuckle when making the comparison because Vancouver had one of the top offenses last season and were not slouches, and then that early 80's team Coffey was on just has, what 6 or 7 HoF'ers on it? Hard to compare to that.

The 23-24 Canucks had 7 All-Stars so it's basically the same

Yeah but 6 of those were just JT Miller and Quinn Hughes and their dogs.

8 if you include Michael Buble

Quinn Hughs is the fastest LHD to 300 assists in league history

I think it’s more indicative of how the avs depth has been decimated than it is on Makar’s skill

It's been bad going back to last year, Hughes' stats without the Miller or Pettersson line is still extremely elite, see other post.

Thats why I take Hughes over any dman in this league. His desire to be better every year and he does exactly that.

ryan “shot can’t break a pane of glass” kesler developed a 40 goal scoring wrist shot of doom. and the difference between prospect hughes’ shot and what he can do now is an even bigger gap than kesler’s transformation.
