As the Canucks wait to learn more about the health of Quinn Hughes’ right foot, they’ve also added another college defenceman in Josh Teves.
Call it a Captain Obvious moment: the official team answer to when Quinn Hughes will play for the Vancouver Canucks is: “when he’s healthy.”
The 19 year old signed with the Canucks over the weekend — he was drafted last summer — and flew to Vancouver Tuesday.“It’s exciting,” Travis Green said Tuesday. “There’s been a lot of talk about a lot of our young guys. To get him signed and on his way to Vancouver is exciting.”Green said the only plan for the mobile blue-liner in the short-term is to determine the health of his foot. Once he’s healthy and ready to skate he’s likely to get right into game action.
Players coming from college often talk about getting used to the quickness of the NHL game, but Alex Biega, who has plotted out an NHL career as a smaller defenceman after playing NCAA hockey , said there was one thing his newest teammate likely won’t have to worry about.
