C Jack Hughes - USNTDP (2019 Draft) Part II

[93LEAFS]

Can't find the answer anywhere. What are his plans for 18-19 season?

He still hasn't answered it. As of right now, its to stay at the program. But, nothing is confirmed and things can rapidly change.

I really hope he wears a mtl canadien jersey in a year and a half !

You better hope Price has the worst season of his career.

Does anyone know if he is going to be playing in the Hlinka cup? Was going to get tickets but didn't know if the US was going to send him

No, the best players are never sent.

Nope. Likely be at the WJC though. Canada should have a good squad to watch at Hlinka. Pretty sure Lafreniere got an invite, likely makes the team. On top of Newhook, Krebs, Dach, Cozens and the Quebec kids. Might be worth it to check them out. Maybe hit up a game between them and the Finns if possible.

Can't see him not on the roster come world juniors.

 

[Breakers]

Officially staying in the USNTDP

Officially staying in the USNTDP

Called that months ago. Not too surprising, although things always have the ability to rapidly change.

 

[ijuka]

Officially staying in the USNTDP

This was expected. Not many people leave while they still are eligible.

Ya no, even superstar price cant keep the habs afloat

In an athletic article about jack it stated that he said he was 5'10" 161 pounds and that he grew 2 inches and gained 10-15 pounds in the past year.

which one? he is still listed as being 5'10" 166 on the usntdp page

 

[Daximus]

Yeah that's likely where he tops out at. No one in his family that we have any info on has ever been taller than 5'10.

 

[Peasy]

Luke has the best chance of breaking 5'10 out of all of them since he's only 14 and basically that height now.

 

[Anardil]

Let's just say a lot of teams will "Lose for Hughes."

We can also say that there will be quite a few teams that will #PlayLikeKakka4Kakko.

 

[greasysnapper]

Hate how he cuts so wildly back into the trees in his east-west transitions. It's filthy but also reckless. He's going to get rocked at the pro level if he tries that.

I kind of agree with you because I am a bit of a size guy myself, but I saw Barzal skate circles around the league all year.

Hughes makes me think of what it must have been like watching a young Gordon Bombay laying waste to the league on the Hawks.

 

[Thrasymachus]

do Nucks fans expect to be bad next year? The idea of Jack and Quinton being a new Sedin type duo for Vancouver has to be tantalizing

We'd have to win the lottery for that to happen.

This is the Canucks we're talking. Nothing good happens to us.

My condolences

Islanders never win the lottery either

 

[HappySabresFan]

He going to Seattle, no doubt.

Hughes will be fine put up lots of assists & points in the NHL
