2025 Fantasy Outlook
Before missing 10 of 13 games from early February to mid-March due to injuries, Hughes was the leader among defenders with 59 points through 47 appearances. Since the 2021-22 campaign, he ranks second among all rearguards with 312 points and first with 264 assists across 304 regular-season appearances. Hughes is also second among defensemen in power-play points (132) during that stretch. From a purely offensive standpoint, only Cale Makar ranks ahead of Hughes. The 25-year-old Hughes should be one of the first blueliners off the board in fantasy drafts, but potential managers should be aware that he won’t help much in categories outside of points and shots.

Signed a six-year, $47.1 million contract with the Canucks in October of 2021.
Nets power-play goal in loss
Hughes scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Hughes scored in response to a Blake Coleman shorthanded tally in the third period. The Canucks didn't build off Hughes' goal, which was the last in the game. The defenseman has a goal and seven helpers over his last four outings while playing massive minutes in a top-pairing role. He's at two goals, 21 points (11 on the power play), 52 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 18 appearances. Even with the Canucks sliding in the standings, Hughes will find ways to get involved on offense.

At the age of 24 -- he'll turn 25 on Oct. 14 -- Hughes is already well-established as one of the top offensive defensemen of his generation, and he has the potential to be remembered as one of the best puck-moving blueliners of all time once everything is said and done. He set career highs in 2023-24 with 17 goals and 92 points across 82 regular-season contests, making it the third straight campaign in which he exceeded the 65-point mark and the fifth consecutive season with over 40 points. Dating back to 2021-22, Hughes has 32 goals and 236 points across 236 contests, a total which ranks below only Roman Josi (240 points) and Cale Makar (242) among defensemen over the last three years. Hughes doesn't do much in non-offensive categories -- he finished 2023-24 with 38 PIM, 29 hits and 55 blocks -- but he's a good bet to once again compete for the scoring title among defensemen in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reportedly not available via trade
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Monday that the Canucks won't field trade offers for Hughes at this time.
ANALYSIS
According to Friedman's sources, Vancouver is willing to listen to offers on veteran players, but that doesn't include Hughes, at least for right now. The Canucks have underwhelmed this year, so they seemingly want to ice a younger team. From an offensive standpoint, Hughes is still over a point-per-game pace, as he's provided two goals and 19 helpers across 18 appearances in 2025-26, but he currently has a minus-5 rating. The all-world defenseman won't be an unrestricted free agent until after next season, but the speculation regarding his future beyond that will be a major topic going forward.
