The Vancouver Canucks have never had a Norris Trophy winner in their history, nor have they owned a defenceman whom you could classify as a “franchise-changer”.
But the team is hoping that Quinn Hughes — whom they selected with the seventh pick in this year’s draft — can become the game-changing defender that they’ve sought for decades. Hughes announced his decision to go back to the University of Michigan for a second year, so Canucks fans will have to wait and be patient until the party starts.
It’s important for Canucks fans to remember that all good things in life are waiting for.
