2025 Fantasy Outlook
Before missing 10 of 13 games from early February to mid-March due to injuries, Hughes was the leader among defenders with 59 points through 47 appearances. Since the 2021-22 campaign, he ranks second among all rearguards with 312 points and first with 264 assists across 304 regular-season appearances. Hughes is also second among defensemen in power-play points (132) during that stretch. From a purely offensive standpoint, only Cale Makar ranks ahead of Hughes. The 25-year-old Hughes should be one of the first blueliners off the board in fantasy drafts, but potential managers should be aware that he won’t help much in categories outside of points and shots.

Overall
Signed a six-year, $47.1 million contract with the Canucks in October of 2021.
Plucks two apples in loss
Hughes supplied two assists, put three shots on net and posted four blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
ANALYSIS
Hughes slid the primary helper on each of Minnesota's two goals in the third period to help bring the team within one goal. Overall, he now has 66 assists, 72 points, 176 shots on net and 77 blocked shots across 68 games this season. The superstar defenseman has been consistent in March with a goal and 13 assists over the last 14 games. He is currently tied with Edmonton's Evan Bouchard for the most assists from a blueliner this season. While Hughes' goal total has taken a step back from the past two seasons, he remains in the running to be nominated for this year's Norris Trophy.

At the age of 24 -- he'll turn 25 on Oct. 14 -- Hughes is already well-established as one of the top offensive defensemen of his generation, and he has the potential to be remembered as one of the best puck-moving blueliners of all time once everything is said and done. He set career highs in 2023-24 with 17 goals and 92 points across 82 regular-season contests, making it the third straight campaign in which he exceeded the 65-point mark and the fifth consecutive season with over 40 points. Dating back to 2021-22, Hughes has 32 goals and 236 points across 236 contests, a total which ranks below only Roman Josi (240 points) and Cale Makar (242) among defensemen over the last three years. Hughes doesn't do much in non-offensive categories -- he finished 2023-24 with 38 PIM, 29 hits and 55 blocks -- but he's a good bet to once again compete for the scoring title among defensemen in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Going to Minnesota?
Hughes is being traded to the Wild on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
The return to Vancouver hasn't been announced yet, but Hughes' status as one of the top blueliners in the league will lead to a large haul. Expect at least two players and potentially multiple picks. Hughes will take over as the Wild's top blueliner and a candidate for the first power-play unit, where he'll be feeding Kirill Kaprizov for goals. This is a bump up in quality of surroundings for Hughes.
