Much better, I'd throw Suzuki, Necas & Bear in there somewhere. Suzuki's now #4 in scoring.

Yeah Bear is another rookie Id thrown into the list. Solid campaign for him.

Quinn Hughes picking up points in B2B wins for the Canucks. Also named to the All-Star Game.

He is now only 1 point behind Cale Makar.

I think the most impressive thing about Quinn Hughes is how much ice time he is getting. He had 23:40 of ice time in today's win against Minnesota, which was the most on the team. Next highest was Tyler Myers at 21:08 - not even close. Now, to be fair, the Canucks had a lot of power plays, but still that is damn impressive. If this kid can do that at 20 years old, what is he gonna look like at 22 or 23? Will he be a 30 minute d-man?

Actually, his average ice time this year for the entire season is 21:27 which leads ALL rookies.

should be noted he has played 8 extra games

Why do you feel the need to point that out? You obviously do not have a horse in this particular race.

 

[wayninja]

Filthy.

 

[missionAvs]

Filthy.

The sound that puck made when it hit the padding in the back of the net is awesome. What a goal.

Dominik Kubalik to be heard from yet.... 20g already!

Sick hand eye tonight....

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Top three should be Makar, Hughes and Marino, without question.

I'd include Samsonov among that tier of players after the top 3. Also, it's spelled Olofsson.

A few more good games and he's certainly in the conversation. But his age is against him, he's 24 already.

 

[Rexor]

It will be difficult to ignore Kubalík if he scores over 30 goals.

 

[Melkor]

Obviously people don't know what they're talking about when they dismiss Samsonov from the race. Without him Caps are not leading their division right now and could have very well been on a pretty long losing streak. He's in the top-4 behind only Makar, Hughes and maybe (just maybe) Marino. Saw enough of Fox, Necas, Olofsson and others mentioned in this thread to be sure of that. If Ilya plays the rest of the season the way he's been playing so far, then he's without a doubt will be in vegas on the awards show in June.

 

[Lomez]

I just think its great there are so many quality young players coming into the league right now.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

If only people actually paid attention to Hughes's impact. I'm not surprised this thread only got bumped when Makar scored again.

I thought Makar was on his way to wrapping it up early, but the race is closer than some fans would probably like to admit.

Yes one of them missed 8 games .....

Which means what exactly? Makar would have more points? Point are part of it, overall impact on the team is also part of it.

Hughes is a massive part of the Canucks improvement this season. Colorado made the playoffs last year & have the (arguably) Hart favourite this year.

I'm not saying this to take away from Makar, but to brush aside Hughes season is absurd. He's probably his teams best defenseman.

Sammy will be in the end
