Solid 2 way player,+ hockey IQ
See's the ice well,elusive but not a burner
Better than average hands,however I like him more at Center than wing...
His cap hit is slightly more than Cehlarik but under Senyshyn's
I've never seen him take a night off

Good to know, thanks @Saxon Eric !

 

[Blowfish]

Well deserved. H’es impressed. Thinking some folk here will Be surprised.

 

[JCRO]

Excited for him.

Everything I've read on him here and in the Twittersphere makes me think the Bs might have something here. And it sounds like he's earned this after a tough start to the season taking a puck to the face in the Prospects challenge.

Good luck Cam!

 

[Over the volcano]

Great to see

 

[Spooner st]

Hopefully he'll fit right in. Kid had some bad luck health wise.

!!!!!!

I almost bumped his ELC thread this morning saying that I hope he gets the shot. Last group of cuts at camp, stirring the drink down in Providence...I think he's got something. Excited to see him at the NHL level.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Good playmaker on every shift.

 

[member 96824]

Most exciting Hughes in the eastern conference

 

[missingchicklet]

A hat trick ties him with Jack, in 11 less games. Get it done Cam!

I like Hughes - this is a great day in his life let’s hope it’s a win and a goal

Who is he comparable to?

Having never seen him play, I like it when someone gives me another player for reference.

I'm excited to see what this kid can do. I remember he scored a sweet between the legs goal at Wisconsin a few years ago.

Matt Lindblad with better hands

Matt Lindblad with better hands

So, 8 years from now he'll be a scout with better penmanship?

 

[ON3M4N]

Don't know much about Cam, but I feel like I hear/see his name a lot in Providence updates. Lets see what you got kid.

Some good Hughes talk

He reminds me of JG Pageau in the sense that he's a bit undersized but works really hard and in quite tenacious out there. He's more of a playmaker than a north-to-south player and definitely has the skating to be an east-to-west kind of guy in the NHL. Really like Hughes and think if he physically matured earlier, then he'd already be in the NHL. There's something to be said for skilled, relentless under-sized guys who can play in virtually any role or line.

So like a more skilled Chris Kelly?

Thanks. I like hearing words like "tenacious and relentless".

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Lets see what he brings to the mix. Lindholm is a swing and a miss and Kuraly/Wags/Nordy are all going to miss time this year most likely given the way they play. Gaunce would have gotten a look by now if he didn't get gooned. We'll probably be picking up a plug at some point for 4th line depth so I'm glad we are taking a look at Hughes first.

Lindholm has been more than fine in his role. How is he a "swing and a miss"? I don't see why Boston would pick up another 4th liner for depth when they have Kuraly, Wagner, Nordstrom, Lindholm, Ritchie and Backes here already. They have guys in Providence that could fill the role in as well.

Congrats to Hughes on the recall. Look forward to seeing him.
