Proposal: Q. Hughes to NJ

[Paulinvancouver]

Things you can bet your last money onat HFboards:
1: pathological obsession with reuniting brothers.
2. "Value of" threads for guys who teams would be nuts to trade
3. Future being worth 100x present
4. Things HFExperts claim would never happen actually happening.
5. Teams receiving value for players who have been clearly marked "negative value" by our community.
6. Cap dumps and 3rd round picks being calculated as multipliers of value in trade proposals, not the crap they actually are.
7. As soon as a player looks like someone worth keeping, a proposal to trade them somewhere else, because, why would you keep a guy on an ELC who looks like he's going to be a player when You could have someone else's player who hasn't done anything yet?


Don't change Hfboards...

I like this comment.

That's a whole lotta crystal balling.

is that some sort of sexual thing?

I get Vancouver not wanting to do this but that’s a pretty good package. Ty Smith is really good.

This
I understand why Vancouver fans do t want to give up Hughes , but the offer is pretty good all things considered

Delete this thread.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Vancouver fans claim they dont get lucky yet they got Quinn Hughes where they picked

NJ cant afford him within reason and nor will they overpay. The brothers wont have a chance to meet until at least seven years from now

Lmao probably the same tournament that made NJ scouts love Hischier more than Pettersson.

Ty Smith is good but he isnt on same level as Q Hughes.

literally head to head in the same tournament and Smith outperformed hughes - it's pretty simple, but yeah , ignore that if you wanna keep on with your cognitive dissonance

1 tournament indicates everything right? Smith isn’t close to Hughes. Helluva player though.

Smith's NHLe was higher than Quinn's last year. Not saying it's a perfect stat, but there is certainly some smoke that Smith could become the better player

Here's my ranking of that draft class. but we'll see how this looks in a few years - I have a sneaking suspicion Dobson will slip while Wilde rises - but i've been wrong before

Miro>Makar>Smith/Hughes> Dobson/Bouchard> K'andre > Wilde

Makar isn’t from that draft class?

sorry I originally threw in miro and makar as a point of reference

My point is nobody uses the world jrs as the end all be all of scouting.

Just from a Canuck POV:

Players that were Meh at WJC:
Horvat
Boeser
Pettersson
Hughes


Players that Dominated the WJC:
Markus Granlund
Jordan Schroeser
Cody Hodgson
Olli Juolevi

 

[Canucks777]

everyone saying Quinton is better than Ty is ignoring Tys 3 points in 5 games to Hughes 2 points in 7 at the u20s

Get your head out of....the sand, nucks fans

Lol less than 10 games and you've made your decision

Horvat was very weak in the WJC, and he’s turned out okay. Thanks for him btw

You're welcome, unfortunately Shero doesn't listen to me nearly as much as Lou did

"Isn't close" is just blatant homerism.

"Isn't close" is just blatant homerism.

It really isn’t. Hughes is dynamic offensively. Smith does not have that potential. He’ll be a solid top 4 guy, maybe even top pairing, but way more of a two way guy. Hughes has that offensive flair to his game that is incredibly hard to find
