Quinn Hughes‘ debut with the Vancouver Canucks has been highly anticipated since being drafted seventh overall in last year’s 2018 NHL draft. Going into the season, there were rumours that Hughes would already be ready to play in the NHL, however, Hughes ultimately decided to return to Michigan University for another year in the NCAA.
With his season with Michigan, Hughes posted 33 points in 32 games, which is an increase from the previous season where he had 29 points in 37 games. Many anticipated that when his season with Michigan concluded, he would sign immediately with Vancouver, in which he did.
