Shockwaves in the NHL: Why Jack Hughes’ Trade to the Wild Could Change Everything for Both Teams
The Canucks are 11-17-3 and in eighth place in the Pacific Division, eight points out of a wild-card spot in the Western Conference under first-year coach Adam Foote.
After winning the Pacific Division with a 50-23-9 record in Hughes’ Norris-winning season of 2023-24 and reaching the Western Conference Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs under then-coach Rick Tocchet, the Canucks slipped to 38-30-14 in 2024-25 and missed the playoffs, finishing six points out of a wild-card spot.
With that frustrating season, which saw center J.T. Miller traded to the New York Rangers on Jan. 31 and Tocchet departing at the end of the year, came increasing speculation about Hughes’ future in Vancouver.
