Quinn Hughes may be small, but the Vancouver Canucks are expecting big things from their prized defensive prospect.
Hughes was recently named hockey’s top prospectIn January, The Athletic’s prospect guru Corey Pronman ranked the top 50 prospects in the NHL’s 31 organizations. Quinn Hughes topped the list, beating out big names like Detroit’s Filip Zadina and Carolina’s Martin Necas. Hughes was labelled a future star, and was also just one of three prospects Pronman rated as elite.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a prospect graduate to the NHL so quickly. The last player to make his Canucks debut in the year immediately following his draft was Ryan Kesler in 2003. Hughes comes from a huge sports familyYou’ve probably heard of Quinn’s younger brother Jack, who is projected to go first overall at this year’s NHL entry draft in Vancouver. But the Hughes family has produced far more than just two notable athletes. Quinn and Jack’s younger brother, Luke, currently playing bantam hockey, is also projected to be a first-round draft pick, which would be the first time an American family has ever had three players taken in the first round of the NHL draft.
