In a recent and somewhat surprising revelation, former Vancouver Canucks defenceman Alex Edler made a bold claim regarding the team's captain, Quinn Hughes.
According to Edler, Hughes will not only meet but break every single franchise record that he set while playing for the Canucks. This statement comes with a lot of weight, considering Edler's reputation as a skilled defenceman who spent his entire 15-year NHL career with the Vancouver Canucks.
So what exactly makes Hughes so special? For starters, Edler unequivocally refers to Hughes as a 'top player in the NHL.' This is quite a testimonial coming from someone of Edler's stature and experience in the league. If Edler is this convinced of Hughes' skills, then there must be some truth to it.
Breaking every franchise record that Edler set is certainly no easy feat. Edler is widely regarded as one of the all-time greats for the Canucks. During his illustrious career, he had an impressive 421 points in 925 games. In contrast, his fellow Swedish countryman Hughes has been steadily racking up points at an insane rate.
It is this combination of skill, dedication and hard work which Edler believes sets Hughes apart from the rest. Hughes' numbers and impressive skills have earned him a ton of recognition and accolades within the hockey world. Last year, he won the Jim Gregory GM of the Year award and made the 2022 NHL All-Star team.
Can Edler's words be taken as fact? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, however: with the way Hughes is performing, it's only a matter of time before the Canucks' franchise records start to crumble.
