Can GM Jim Benning’s current top prospect Quinn Hughes conquer the 2020 Calder Memorial Trophy challengers to make it two in a row for the Vancouver Canucks, following Elias Pettersson‘s win a month ago?
It won’t be an easy task as New York Rangers prospect Kaapo Kakko seems poised to be the award’s top challenger this coming season.
For Canucks fans and the Hughes family alike, this race will be especially exciting because it also includes Quinn’s younger brother Jack Hughes, who after Kakko probably has the second-best odds to win the 2020 award for the NHL’s most impressive first-year player.
