Drury and Laviolette Must Go
I’m a Wings fan who literally could not care less about the NJD, and I agree with everyone else that your so called scouting report is ridiculous, and using a player not playing on the PK at 18 to detract him is a little crazy to say the least.
You cared enough to distort what I said. If you think that I said Hughes ability to play center is based on his ability to be a penalty killer in the NHL at 18, I don't know what you are reading. Hughes doesn't penalty kill in juniors either. This is against players his own age. In his own age group, his coaches didn't think he should be a penalty killer.
Go ahead and disagree with my opinion. It doesn't bother me. What I think you should at least acknowledge though is that you and some others are trying to use one or two areas that have been questioned of many and distort them to try to say all criticisms about his ability to play center aren't valid. This is exactly why I responded to this discussion to begin with. It was claimed that his height and ability to win face-offs were the main reasons people said he couldn't play center. There were over five things mentioned, yet people like you can misrepresent the criticisms and say its all about size, face-offs and penalty killing in the NHL as a rookie.
