Patrik Allvin, then Vancouver’s general manager, said Hughes had made it clear he was unlikely to sign a long-term extension with the Canucks following the expiration of the six-year, $47.1 million deal he signed in October 2021.
In 2024, Hughes won the Norris Trophy — awarded to the league’s top defenseman — after helping Vancouver win a Pacific Division title and make the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
Hughes became the second-fastest American defenseman to reach 500 NHL points, achieving the feat in 520 games. Brian Leetch hit the milestone in 496 games with the New York Rangers.
