Hughes is playing college. He's also incredibly dynamic, one of the best skating D prospects in years.
It's going to be amazing to watch, they'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge. Either because he just wowed you offensively, or is giving you anxiety about DZ coverage.
Pretty spot on. I think as well, @OilerTitanFan , Hughes had a pretty impressive World Jr's. That, and Pettersen's immediate success, plays a lot into the belief by casual fans that Hughes is going to join the Canucks next year and be stellar. I expect he'll have a rookie season not unlike Justin Schultz, maybe with more sheltering, if he sticks. He'd develop better if he got to play in the AHL and was forced to be 'the guy' on defence and actually play defensively, but he can probably also survive as a bottom pairing offensive guy right now...kind of like Bouchard.
