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

[Russian_fanatic]

Imagine Hughes feeding pucks to Boeser and Petterson... the future looks bright in Canuck land !

 

[L13]

I see some Canucks fans are already concerned with Hughes's height and body type, which is hilarious. He's the second most talented player in the draft and can be a star in the NHL. Excellent pick.

As they should be! I know the team itself and most of the fanbase are very excited. I was referring to the Hughes thread on the Canucks subforum here on HFBoards, where I read several pretty misguided (IMO) comments.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Vancouver fans will also be concerned about body type. Hughes is too short, Pettersson is too light, Juolevi is too fat

 

[StickShift]

Besides Dahlin—there was no player better suited for the Canucks rebuild than Quinn Hughes. He's the perfect complement to the skill and speed they already have up and coming in Boeser, Petterson, Dahlen, and Gaudette.

Well it's a risk for sure.

There are about 6 good defencemen in the NHL that are 5'10" and under.

Juo was also too skinny before he became too fat.

I've always thought the girl in blue is better looking, but I'm an old coot, relatively speaking, so what do I know?

 

[M2Beezy]

Is this Dobson’s burner account?

The group of four D are all too Close to separate one from the rest right now. It cokes down tonpersonal preference so discounted one over another is just your opinion.

For me, it goes :
Hughes
Boqvist
Bouchard
Dobson

Correct

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

anyone have the youtube video of the draft, of the Canucks before their draft? John Weisbrod was pretty much laughing like a kid when Detroit Picked Zadina.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Canucks have now made 3 great first picks in their last 4 years of the draft. I love this pick. Hughes is going to be dynamite setting up Boeser and Petterson.

Think you meant Horvat.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

keep the video games away from this guy

I think that last one goes for like half our prospects. Horvat, Virtanen, Juolevi, Cederholm.. could continue with a bunch of others too

 

[lawrence]

I don't get this joke, please explain.

 

[GetFocht]

New highlight video that focuses Hughes in the WC, his skating his phenomenal, very unique player.

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

This will make for an awesome gif on the Canucks board, especially if someone can make it so it zooms up on Benning's face when he turns to Wisebrod.

Hughes reminds me of a young doughty before he was tamed by sutter.

A lot of niedermayer in him too.

Those types of players I find mesmerizing to watch

 

[Tralfamadore]

Hughes sure looks exciting. How does he compare to Maker?

Great stuff. The WC stuff was so fun to watch. Can’t wait to see him with Pettersson and Boeser.

 

[Kevin Musto]

If you ask me, he's much better than Makar

Hughes controls the game from the back-end, very good at zone entry, he's a one man break out machine and sets up the play. Makar is very good in the offensive zone when the play is setup, however he's not a puck carrier.

You can certainly like Hughes better, but Makar is definitely a puck carrier. It's one of his primary strengths.

nope, I actually watch college games and have been following Makar, he's not a break out type of defenceman that skate into the offensive zone. He does however provide very good offensive support, as soon the play is set up, then he works his magic. With Hughes however, the game flows through him and commands the puck distribution.

I watched all but two of his college games this past season and I can tell you that you are about as wrong as a person can be in my opinion. I think most people who are familiar with him would agree. If you want to post a poll or start a discussion, I encourage you to do so, because I think it will reinforce how extreme in the minority that your opinion is.

But I am not going to spend any more time on the matter, life is far too short to waste precious moments arguing over something so mundane.

Have a nice evening.

Makar is a tremendous puck carrier don’t be ridiculous now. Hughes is outstanding as well, probably even better than Makar in that regard, but Makar is still great at it. That’s probably why Benning wanted Makar so badly last year. He missed him last draft but got a guy in Hughes who also has that ability to nullify a forecheck with his skating.
