I have him as my #3 best prospect in the draft. His IQ, skating, ability to control play, and his potential impact in the NHL as an elite player leave very few doubts in my mind he will be a star in the NHL. Who knows maybe one day he will known as the best player in the draft. That's saying something with Dahlin and Svechnikov in the same class. But it wouldn't shock me if he proves this one day.
would you say he is like Brian Campbell (Probably the best 5'10 dman of the past 10 years)?
Do we have to listen to the song to get to a Quinn video?Highlight of the season for Quinn today

Its weird to me that Tkachuk is consistently ranked higher in every draft ranking.
Its obvious that Hughes skillset dwarfs that of Brady.
Yeah, the talent is there. It’s weird to me that Brannstrom became such a trendy prospect last year, and everyone wanted to pump his tires... but there’s not much discussion on Hughes, who I think is better in every way. Same thing with Girard, despite having a historic season in the Q.
I guess his last name isn’t cool enough or something? Do we just assume small Euro defenseman > small NA defenseman?
Is he likely to stay at 5'9 or is he still growing?
How tall are his parents?
If he goes top 5, when was the last time brothers got taken in back to back drafts inside the top 5? I am too lazy to check, but I cant imagine that happening too often over the past 30 years,
I still have some concerns for Hughes, but the talent is most definitely there. The Brian Leetch comparison is lofty, I do not see him anywhere close to Leetch's overall game yet...he isn't nearly as physical as Leetch was either, but on skating and vision, yeah I can see a comparison to be made.
I love the kid as much as the next guy, but he has some growing to do (no pun intended) in his in-zone play and decision making under pressure. He has plenty of time to become the player some expect him to be, I would be happy if he gets picked inside the top 10 as some teams still value size and have a hard time justifying a top 10 pick on a 5'10 dman.

Schenn bros.
Quinn's skating is what is amazing to me. He is patient with the puck and very creative. He does lose track of his defensive responsibilities sometumes but I'd take him very high in the draft.

For those who have watched him... would Torey Krug be a comparable?
