LD Quinton Hughes - U of Michigan, Big Ten (2018, 7th, VAN)

[SaucyNavel]

Good shit, no complaints here.

 

[Ainec]

Is that big 3 including Zadina or Kotkaniemi?

Zadina (sniper, more nhl ready)

but Kotkaniemi wasn't a reach

 

[pomx]

Benning was high on this pick and said he would've chosen Hughers over Zadina. I think we got the 2nd best defense man in the draft!

 

[Raistlin]

to get him to announce his brother's name in Vancouver will be unreal. but a lot of things has to go right (wrong) for it to happen. I'd rather he stay in school for one more year for this reason, as they were joking that he's already Vancouver's best defenseman.

I'm happy with Hughes but I would have rioted in the streets if we had a chance at Zadina and passed on him.

Not sure if Benning is just supporting the pick he ended up with, but I'm glad I didn't have to watch him make that decision.

 

[Curved Space]

I believe Benning when he says he would have taken Hughes over Zadina. He knows our team needs a defenseman that can lead the way on offense more than anything else.

Whats with Vancouverites and rioting on the streets?

He also said he would have taken Pettersson 1st overall in 2017. He just likes talking up the picks he made.

Canucks, you hit the jackpot with this pick, or quinnpot rather
The most NHL ready player in this draft.

Better,updated(upgraded) version of Phil Housley.
Lots of similarities; same height,weight,nationality,style,
both LD's,both has USHL background

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Just a reminder for those that question his defensive ability.

Quinn Hughes was on the ice for 1 goal againat during thr World Championships. ONE !

Laughably, that 1 goal againat was vs South Korea when USA won 13-1.

Happy for Canucks fans that you guys got him. Really wished the Devils got him, but one, totally cool with Ty Smith, and two, also happy Canucks fans have another good piece to add to some other really damn good pieces that will hopefully build that team back up again.

 

[lawrence]

always wanted him, there were a few guys I wanted, very happy to have him in our system.

Canucks have done well drafting Americans just in general, from R.J Umberger, Ryan Kesler, Schneider, Boeser, Gaudette, the list goes on, very happy, quite shocking actually, didn't think Hughes was there, I was actually expecting Hughes to be gone, which left us with Boqvist,Bouchard, Dobson, but everything worked out.

He also said he would have taken Pettersson 1st overall in 2017. He just likes talking up the picks he made.

Talking up the picks? Maybe because they have something to talk about. Pettersson sure looks like a 1st overall.

[Elias Pettersson]

Quinn Hughes scored 2 fewer points and had a higher ppg than 4th overall forward Brady Tkachuk this year, while being the youngest player in the NCAA.

The way he skates with the puck is downright fun to watch.

He is a hockey fans dream, Just a exciting, dynamic, and extremely skilled playmaking defender.

I’m happy with this pick, he seems like one heck of a player. Add on pieces to our core.

Jimbo's reaction when Zadina and Hughes were still available lmfao

 

[Canucks LB]

They look so young lmao

 

[Canadian Canuck]

We just need a #1 center like brother Jack Hughes and the rebuild is done

 

[thepuckmonster]

Two Hughes could be a nice follow up to two Swedish twins ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That would be absolutely insane if it happened.
