“Even amid a season to forget in Vancouver – marked by tumult on and off the ice, the departure of one of the club’s most prolific scorers, and a tumble out of playoff contention a year after the Canucks put together a two-round run – Quinn Hughes still managed to author a memorable campaign. The blue-line phenom was a rare bright spot in Vancouver in 2024-25, navigating bickering teammates and ill-timed injury spells and still finishing with a dominant 76 points in 68 games from the backend, making clear who reigns as the Canucks’ heart-and-soul leader. That sterling effort earned Hughes his second Norris Trophy nomination in as many seasons, and a few Hart Trophy votes too.<\/p>\n
But the question on every Canucks fan’s mind is how long Hughes will remain in Vancouver. The 25-year-old phenom has two years left on the six-year, $47.1-million deal he signed in 2021. But Hughes has been open about how difficult the chaos of the 2024-25 campaign was for him, and how big a factor a successful 2025-26 is in his decision on where to spend the next phase of his career.” Sportsnet said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Even amid a season to forget in Vancouver – marked by tumult on and off the ice, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5128],"tags":[894,5,4,1496,26565,22628,36675,893,27,5692,5313],"class_list":{"0":"post-224325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-vancouver-canucks","8":"tag-canucks","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-quinn-hughes","12":"tag-quinn-hughes-canucks","13":"tag-quinn-hughes-rumors","14":"tag-top-ten-nhl-players","15":"tag-vancouver","16":"tag-vancouver-canucks","17":"tag-vancouver-canucks-news","18":"tag-vancouvercanucks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115316777556139827","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
