In retrospect, maybe it should have been an all-inclusive IIHF thread, but I guess there's no reason to have one just on the Worlds.Might as well go for it, we had a seperate thread for the <18 tournament
With all the discussion of his size and strength, I will admit one thing:
Im nervous for the days he tries to dangle guys like Byfuglien and Chara as well as general tough guys/role players. Its one thing to show up a kid whos new to the league (and at a level Jack is at) but its another to be dangled around like youre chopped liver AND that person is a teenage rookie.
Hes most certainly going to get rocked on a few occasions
Imagine how teams like Chicago with Debrincat and Tampa back when with St Louis felt haha, and soon CaulfieldIt's a fair worry and one I think is getting glossed over in a lot of the discussion here.
I'm ecstatic that he's going to be our pick and I'm not even thinking of Kakko, but if there is knock to be hand against Hughes, it's his size.
You don't need to be big in today's NHL, but it certainly helps. Lord knows how many times I've thought Nico died so far in his short career.
Saying that his size is the only knock against him is not "whining".
aka tmrw.
@NJDevs26 do we bother with a separate World Championships thread, since we have mult players playing?
theres a preliminary game against germany tmrwWhat game is tomorrow? I see the games starting on May 10.
Looks like Hughes will get PP time.
So that likely dispels the "he wont get any minutes" theory.

?You know Hynes is fuming that DAL is still playing given his responsibility.
