Really? I've always been extremely high on Hughes. Had him ranked 3rd on my 2018 draft list, but is he even better than Pettersson in both those regards?
This is a bit much. He's looked very good thus far, and is doing extremely well statistically. Tad premature to say the most electrifying defenceman to ever play for Van lol.
Petterson's hockey IQ is oustanding and most definitely a tier above Hughes', they are different players - let's just enjoy both.
Kid just turned 20, and already might have one of the most elite set of wheels in the league.
But that's what baffles me a about skating.....you watch his edge-work, acceleration and lateral agility and you wonder why other players who are growing up and developing their skills never seem to develop the same abilities. Is there something the Hughes brothers did growing up that enabled them both to become elite skaters?

They were born with the right genes.
I think Quinn’s skill and IQ is even better than Pettersson’s but it’s close.
Basically it means he has been our best defender at shot differential even though he starts mostly in the Dzone, about 60% or more of the time. He is far and away the #1 Dman on the Canucks not only in that regard, but pretty much everywhere else too.I’m sorry where the link to this? Because I have no clue what each section or the words even mean..
i guess i should have added" from a defenseman"Really? I've always been extremely high on Hughes. Had him ranked 3rd on my 2018 draft list, but is he even better than Pettersson in both those regards?
