Episode Synopsis

Read this article on Sportsnet: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/quinn-hughes-on-canucks-future-i-can-handle-the-noise/ Captain Quinn Hughes is back speaking up—and the message is clear: he's locked in for the Canucks and focused on leading them back to contention.In his first deep interview since the offseason, Hughes shared he hasn’t thought about his contract or long-term future—he’s completely “present”, laser-focused on getting ready for the season and lifting the team out of last year’s chaos We break down what makes him the perfect leader:He handles the noise like no one else—“That’s why I’m the captain… I can play at an elite level and it doesn’t matter what’s going on around me.” Moves quickly past distractions—he’s already thinking about the skate test, not camp, setting the tone for accountability His trust in Adam Foote and love for Rick Tocchet show both loyalty and adaptability to new leadership—essential traits for sustaining a winning culture  Why the Canucks need to keep Hughes long-term:He’s the emotional and on-ice center. With two more years left on his contract and extension eligibility next summer, Vancouver simply can’t afford to lose this anchor.  Beyond the stats, he’s the compass. In a season marred by injuries and drama, he’s the steady voice driving renewal for 2025–26  JOIN OUR SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan.Join Kyle's Discord:  https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
