Even though they didn't win the game against the divisional foe Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes still made history with his performance. The Edmonton Oilers took the 1st meeting of the new year against the divisional foe Vancouver Canucks, winning 3-1 and picking up their 1st win. Even though they didn't come out on top, Canucks captain and former Norris Trophy winner Quinn Hughes still made history in the process. He got the 410th point of his career with an assist on Brock Boeser's goal, which means he is now the highest scoring defenseman in the history of the Canucks. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1977225787788099689'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/ginohard_/status/1977224831235244320'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> He also recently became the Canucks' all-time assist leader by a defenseman, passing the mark previously set by Alex Edler. It only took Hughes 376 games to reach 300 assists, and he was the 3rd fastest defenseman in NHL history behind Bobby Orr (346 games) to do so. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nuckaround/status/1977227080669520311'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Last year, he tied the record in Vancouver's 81st game of the year; he would have reached it faster had he not missed 14 games because of an injury, which also kept him from playing for the American squad in the 4 Nations Faceoff in February. At only 25, Hughes is still about to enter the prime of his NHL career, but is it going to <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/nhl-insider-believes-luke-hughes-extension-could-lead-to-a-record-breaking-deal-for-quinn-hughes' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>be with the Canucks</a>? <h3>Quinn Hughes' contract status is becoming a concern</h3> Including this year, Hughes still has 2 years left on his current contract and can become a UFA in 2027. It's also no secret that Hughes would love to play with his brothers Jack and Luke, who are both with the New Jersey Devils. Right now, he has an AAV (average annual value) of $7.85 million, a number that will certainly rise with his next contract, wherever it is.
