Having a terrific season. All-Star at 20 is no joke.

Should finish with 50+ points.

For those that missed it last thread.

Fantastic player.

 

[crobro]

Is this an NHL record for the Canucks?

A Rookie representing his team in 3 consecutive all star games ?

 

[Kryten]

He looks like he’s from the Make A Wish foundation out there then he gets the puck and everyone understands

thats quite a feat. Whether they win the calder or not is a sky high goal. but 3 consecutive all star appearances as rookies should be a huge feather on Benning's cap as a draft(rebuild)-focused GM, god knows he's spotty in his other duties.

Not to take anything away from Hughes great season but Benning has never been focused on draft/rebuild.

I know he didn't focus on it. but somehow it just ended up that way. anyways, he does have a passion for the scouting side of things, and his track record backs it up.

I think Hoglander and Madden are likely our closest bets to Calder contenders next season.

Not saying they will be, but they're the two most likely to content for a spot on the team and have the highest upsides.

Madden and Hoglander probably 2 seasons away from playing on the team. I'd say Juolevi, Rafferty and MacEwan are more likely (to play, not to contend for the Calder).

Maybe we get Lafreniere through the lottery?

Good point, my mind is set on it now

He pulled a homer

Don’t go home with hope

Still feels like a dream every time I see Quinn Hughes in a Canucks jersey. Hopefully he can swing some Calder votes at the All-Star game.

 

[Bougieman]

As incredible and as satisfying as Quinn's rookie season has been at the halfway mark, I must admit that I find no small amount of frustration that he currently has 8 other rookie defencemen that are either ahead of him, or tied with him for goal production. He's been sooooo good at getting shots on the net with accuracy, and with a harder shot than pretty much anyone predicted he'd have this time last year, and yet the stats don't lie. Would love for him to get a little more puck-luck and good bounces and get those goal total stats where we all know they should actually be considering his level of play.

 

[Bougieman]

And don't look now, but with Kubalik getting 7 points in his last 3 games, the 3-way race for rookie of the year is now a 4-way race. Hughes, Ololfsson, Makar and Kubalik, all within a few points of each other.

I didn't see that coming at the beginning of the season. Thought it would be a 4 way race between Kakko, the two Hughes bros, and Makar.
