Quinn Hughes Dominates in Canucks’ Win + Zegras Calls Him “Best Player Ever”

The Vancouver Canucks just took down the Calgary Flames in preseason play, and Quinn Hughes showed why he’s still one of the most dangerous defensemen in the league. He added the 7th goal for Vancouver off an odd-man rush with Boeser, making a clear statement.

Meanwhile, Trevor Zegras is raising eyebrows in another city—telling ESPN: “I never want to play Quinn ever again. He’s the best hockey player of all time.” That’s bold praise, and one you won’t want to ignore.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down:

The key plays from Vancouver’s win over Calgary—how they did it, what worked, and where they improved.

Quinn Hughes’ impact: both offensively and defensively, and why he’s carrying the team’s identity forward.

The implications of Zegras’ comment: what it says about Quinn’s reputation around the league, and how it fuels the narrative in Vancouver.

Roster dynamics following the win: who looked good, who’s making pushing arguments, and what the coaching staff might take away heading into the regular season.

Why this matters: Games like this set tone and build confidence. For Quinn, it’s more than just one game — it’s validation at every level: from the locker room, the coaching staff, and now even his peers around the league.
