I can see the headlines now. "Wide turn, undersized Jack Hughes drafted by the NJ Devils 1st overall to finally play against men in the swamp in front of no fans".

It’s wide pond hockey turns now. I have no idea what the **** that even is.
I do not get the need to nitpick this kid to death just because you prefer the home town kid.
I never knew drafting first overall could be so aggravating.
It was probably about this bad for the Matthews/Laine draft. I wonder what is common between that draft and this one...I absolutely don’t recall it being this annoying two years ago, and that was actually a toss up choice.

It really is odd, It's like some dude that's been pining over a hot chick for a while and someone else swoops in and then you get to hear how she's a ****ty person and he didn't want her anyway lmao.
I think the fact that Nico and Patrick weren't considered generational talents kept the jealousy at bay, but Hughes is showing he very well might be and some people- or fanbases - can't handle that.I absolutely don’t recall it being this annoying two years ago, and that was actually a toss up choice.
And the weirdest thing is you got Ranger fans on our side defending the kid. This **** is bizzaro world.
OMG. I think I want to make a T-shirt that says "Han Leker Hockey" now.In Sweden there's a saying and he said it "han leker hockey", which basically means he dominates like it's pond hockey against kids for him.
I don’t even mind the wide turn stuff, at least that I can watch Hughes and make my own decision, it’s the back patting of themselves by people talking up some prospect call they made 3 years ago so now their opinion on the subject of Hughes is sacrosanct.
Also, that thread is weird because holding the opinion almost the entire world holds is viewed as something crazy.
The Canucks poster thing is dead on, and they are unbearable.That is a totally different dude, and he is one of those main board folks who just gets their jollies off on going against the mainstream.
I think they like to feel superior to the experts, so they disagree with them at every turn.
Every fanbase has their delusional posters. We got a couple. You got a few Canuck fans who think they are hiding five McDavids in their prospect pool. Etc.
His skating is so outwordly that he can shift from one direction to another in an instant. Hockey looks so easy with him out there and we all know it's not.

His edge ability is so incredible that there are times it seems completely unnatural.
I watched all 7 games this week, and I found myself a bunch of times pausing the DVR to watch his changes of direction and frame-by-framing them to see if I could figure out how he's doing it. The other odd thing is he can do all this at an unusual high rate of speed.
When youre as highly touted a prospect as Hughes is, you’re nitpicked more than most. Add in the Finnish #2 and that group of posters and it turns into thisIt’s wide pond hockey turns now. I have no idea what the **** that even is.

I have barely watched him play, but Makar?His skating really might be the best since McDavid came into the league. Not to say he can do everything McDavid can do, but just going on pure skating and edge work, I am drawing a blank on guys who skate this well coming in recent years.
I feel like there has to be a more down to earth skating comparable then McDavid. I hate that comparison. Creates too many expectations.

I think he plays today.I haven’t seen enough. Was thinking guys already in the league because I am not as familiar with the ones yet to break in.
Tough to tell, Turcotte had mono not long ago so I doubt he was even 100% fit.Did Zegras jump above Turcotte for anyone else over the last couple games?
