Maybe I haven’t watched enough Hughes, but I always came away with the feeling Makar was a better skater(not by much) but Hughes was the better player. But I don’t watch nearly as much junior hockey as others so.
Schneekloth sighting. They still haven't announced anything yet have they?
AJ said it was an ankle, not a concussion. I don't know who to believe. Wish we could get just one credible reporter covering this team for once.

Do what now?
Always injured. I don’t even know if it’s true it’s just a perception I seem to have.
Exactly its a very subjective thing . Maker is faster than Hughes on the fly .So many aspects to skating ability. For example, a guy like Sam Girard has insane top speed but I don't know if anyone in the league (yes, I'm counting McDavid) can accelerate as explosively as MacKinnon, nor do I think anyone can make skating look like walking better than Kotkov.
Timmins did get a probable concussion in the OHL finals but that was over a month ago. If he still suffers from it, I'm not sure why they would fly him to Denver.
It's possible the symptoms are light but they don't want him on ice.
Perhaps a silver lining, I know that others have indicated that Moser interviewed Timmins today, so between that and him flying to the event, perhaps he is not doing that bad. It may just be caution. The Avs saw him in camp last year and he almost made the team, so I don't believe that his non-participation in the development camp is viewed as an issue.
He also missed several weeks in February-March with a high ankle sprain, so why push it?
