Quinn Hughes makes his feelings known about $58,000,000 Vancouver Canucks D-man's much-awaited return from injury

Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes recently shared his thoughts on defenseman Filip Hronek's much-anticipated return from injury.

Hronek, who is under an eight-year, $58 million contract, suffered an apparent upper-body injury during a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in November. Although he needed an operation on his lower body, no surgery was required for his upper body.

After a brief conditioning stint with the AHL club, Hronek is on the path to recovery, While the exact timeline of his return is uncertain, his comeback to the Canucks indicates positive progress.

Quinn Hughes expressed his contentment about Hronek's return, emphasizing the team's need for his presence on the ice in the upcoming days.

"He always looks great. Yeah, so happy I mean, I don't know what his plan is tomorrow, but I'm sure he'll be back in the next couple days, and we obviously desperately need him." Hughes said.

According to coach Rick Tocchet, Filip Hronek is a "game time" decision for their matchup against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Czech defenseman has racked up nine points through a goal and eight assists in 21 games this season.
