Captain Quinn Hughes sets his eyes on an important team milestone
The Vancouver Canucks took a big step forward during the 2023-24 NHL season, falling to the eventual Stanley Cup Finalist Edmonton Oilers in seven games in Round 2. Quinn Hughes captured his first career Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman, J.T. Miller scored 100 points for the first time in his career, and Brock Boeser reached the 40-goal plateau for the first time among many other achievements.
With growing expectations for 2024-25, several Canucks players have important milestones well within reach.
Quinn Hughes is just 76 points away from becoming the franchise's all-time points leader for defensemen, despite being just 24. He's reached 76 points in each of the last two seasons, topping out at 92 this past season.
Tyler Myers enters 2024-25 at 995 career games played. He will need just five more appearances to reach the prestigious mark of 1,000. The 2010 Calder Trophy winner has only missed 10 games over the last four seasons.
Nils Hoglander enters next season with 90 career points, needing just 10 more to hit the century mark. He scored a career-high 24 goals and 36 points this past season and will almost certainly pass this mark comfortably.
Brock Boeser needs just 21 more games played to hit 500 in his career. The Minnesota native has struggled with injuries throughout his career, but played in a career-best 81 games in 2023-24. He's also 21 goals away from 200 and 16 points away from 400. An interesting race will be to see if he hits 400 career points before he hits 500 games played, needing 16 points in his next 21 games to achieve it.
