These are the current top 10 seasons for a Canucks D,

Points (D)	Pts
Quinn Hughes (23-24)	81
Quinn Hughes (22-23)	76
Quinn Hughes (21-22)	68
Doug Lidster (86-87)	63
Dennis Kearns (76-77)	60
Rick Lanz (83-84)	57
Paul Reinhart (88-89)	57
Paul Reinhart (89-90)	57
Dale Tallon (70-71)	56
Jyrki Lumme (93-94)	55

 

 

Makes you wonder what it will look like when Hughes is no longer a Canuck.  Is it possible it'll only be 1 name?

 

 

If Hughes stays here for the bulk of his career the top ten will be all Hughes.  Will be a bit of a sad day for me when Lidster drops off the list...he held that record for something like 35 years.  Ought to be recognized more by the team...possible ROH guy as well.  Kind of like how the Andre Boudrias 30 year record for assists in a season was broken by Henrik and now Boudrias, who should be in the ROH, is a forgotten man.

 

Hughes is also now is the all time record holder for Babe Pratt Trophies (Canucks defenseman of the year) with five, winning it every year he has been here with a bullet.  Lidster, Lumme, Ohlund and Snepsts each had four over their careers.  Makes you want to take another look at Lumme and his legacy.  I imagine nobody but Hughes is going to win the trophy for at least the next seven or eight years unless Hughes gets traded or injured.

Despite being just 24 years old, Quinn Hughes already has the Canucks record for most career points by a defenceman within sight. He’s currently in second place behind only Alex Edler.

Edler has 409 points in 925 games with the Canucks, while Hughes has 333 points in 365 career games. Hughes needs just 76 points to tie the record, a number he should be able to reach next season, assuming he stays healthy.

 

When J.T. Miller touches the ice on opening night, he will reach 800 career games played. He was so close to hitting the number last season but sat out the last game of the year against the Winnipeg Jets, leaving him one game short of the number. The veteran has played for three teams and is playing some of the best hockey of his career in latter years.

 

Veteran defenceman Tyler Myers is just five games short of reaching 1,000 for his career. Some injury issues last season prevented him from hitting the mark but he should reach it this year no problem.

There are fewer than 400 NHL players who have ever reached this milestone, and thus, it’ll be very exciting when Myers joins the ranks.

 

Brock Boeser is one of the longest-tenured Canucks, and his goal-scoring prowess is well-known. He’s scored 179 goals in 479 games with the team, and he’s closing in on club legend Alex Burrows for 10th place all-time in the franchise record books.

 

Elias Pettersson is already one of the most exciting and electric players to ever don the Canucks sweater. Despite having played just six seasons in the NHL, he’s already on pace to break into the team’s all-time top-10 assists leaderboard, as he needs just 25 more to catch André Boudrias for the 10th spot.

 

Thatcher Demko just needs two more shutouts to reach 10 for his career and catch Ryan Miller for the fifth-place rank on the franchise leaderboard. Demko is actually already in the top five for many other major goalie stats but hasn’t reached it for shutouts yet.

 

While not a huge milestone like some of the other options on this list, reaching 1oo points is a solid milestone for any NHLer. Nils Höglander is currently sitting at 90 career points with 50 goals and 40 assists and thus needs just 10 more points to reach the century mark.

 

wait till next year / which will soon be upon us...Yah who, Mountain Dew....
