Is Quinn Hughes having the best season in Canucks history?

Has LeBron James surpassed Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player of all time? Is Lewis Hamilton or Michael Schumacher the best F1 driver in history? Can anyone compare to John Gochnaur to be the worst baseball player ever?

With 322 points in 355 career regular season games, Quinn Hughes is already third in scoring among Canucks defencemen and will surely pass Mattias Öhlund to move into second before the season is done. Next season, he’ll likely pass Alex Edler to move into first in about half the number of games. Hughes already possesses the three best single seasons for a Canucks defenceman and might have four if not for a global pandemic shortening the 2019-20 season.

Era-adjusted points are easy enough to understand. It was easier to score goals in some eras of the NHL than in others. In the high-flying eighties, NHL games saw an average of 7.4-8.0 goals per game, while the trap-em-up early 2000’s before the crackdown on hooking and holding saw that average fall to 5.1 in the 2003-04 season.

Best Canucks seasons of all time by Point Shares Point Shares are a little more esoteric but the idea is to assess how much of a team’s total points in the standings can be attributed to an individual player, making it similar to Win Shares in baseball. It’s far from perfect — it still uses plus/minus for some of its calculations, for instance — but it’s at least a starting point.

How do the 2023-24 Canucks compare? The stars of the Canucks' 2023-24 season compare pretty favourably to the all-time best seasons ever in franchise history. Quinn Hughes is the best Canuck ever... So, assuming Quinn Hughes passes Daniel Sedin in Point Shares over the final ten games of the season, does this make his 2023-24 season the best ever by a Canuck?
