Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes was ranked pretty high up on Sportsnet's top-50 players list heading into the 2024-25 season.

Earlier in the week, J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson found their way onto Sportsnet's list as they were ranked 23rd and 25th respectively.
As we headed into Friday, there was one thing that was confirmed, Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes would be in Sportsnet's top-ten, but it was unclear how high up he would be ranked.
According to Sonny Sachdeva, Sportsnet's insiders who were polled have ranked Quinn Hughes as the eighth-best player in the National Hockey League.
