In 2022-23, Hughes recorded seven goals and 69 assists in 78 games played. His 76 points ranked third among defensemen last season.
There’s a lot that goes into being a captain in the NHL which we — the fan and media — aren’t privy to. In terms of what we are, Hughes seems to be a perfect fit. And that side of the job tends to be particularly high leverage in Vancouver. —Hughes was an obvious choice and one that the club has been telegraphing since Rick Tocchet was named head coach back in January.
Pettersson is a bit of an introverted character, and perhaps he wouldn’t have been moved by the inducement of the “C” anyway. It’s certainly interesting that the club didn’t want to use the “C” as a possible lever, however, in their attempts to retain their superstar forward. —The past several Canucks captains were unveiled in big, pregame ceremonies in advance of the Canucks’ home opener.
On Monday, however, the club dropped the Hughes news rather suddenly in a press release and invited the media to a press conference. It’s very understated relative to how this club has typically done business in handling this symbolic organizational role.Is this, perhaps, the club attempting to lessen the drama around their hockey club? If so, that could be a very good thing. Understated is something the Canucks franchise could very much use.
