Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin says he's open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team.

Quinn Hughes scored two power-play goals and the struggling Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Saturday night. Danton Heinen also scored and J.T. Miller had two assists as the Canucks won for just the second time in eight games (2-4-2).

The five-foot-10 blue-liner won the Norris Trophy for the NHL's best defenseman in 2023-24, and with half of this season in the books, he's making another case for himself. Throughout all of the turmoil that the Vancouver Canucks have endured, Hughes' numbers have remained consistent.

Hughes is up to the 50-point mark (12 goals, 38 assists), and he's earned 20 of those points on the power play. He's added 123 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating. A 20-goal campaign is still a plausible outcome as Hughes continues to be the cream of the crop among NHL blueliners.

Hughes scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

The Vancouver Canucks aren’t in peril, but their precarious position commands attention. It’s the type of challenge that captain Quinn Hughes embraces. He has 16 points (5-11) in his last 12 games and is three points shy of leading all defencemen in scoring.
