Who needs the Calder when you’re smashing rookie playoff records?
In case you weren’t convinced that Quinn Hughes was the best defenceman in Canucks history (Kyle Bhawan said it first), then the 2020 playoffs should have you thinking otherwise.
How about starting with the records that Hughes set? First, there was the rookie playoff record for assists by a defenceman.
Then, he also broke the Canucks franchise record for points by a defenceman in the playoffs.
Everybody's talking about Quinn Hughes setting the all-time rookie scoring record by a defenceman in a single playoff year.
