Adam Kierszenblat talks about Quinn Hughes scoring pace on the Vancouver Canucks site.
-It is safe to say that there has never been a player in Vancouver Canucks history like Quinn Hughes. The Canucks new all-time leader in assists by a defenceman has only played 388 regular season games but is already considered one of the greatest players in franchise history. With a potential second straight Norris Trophy upcoming at the end of the season, Hughes could also make history, becoming the eighth player in franchise history to record 100 points in a season.
