I'll be rooting for Michigan to win the first round. I feel Benning and company are short-sighted enough, that they'll sign Hughes immediately, and have him play in over 10 games, without any concern in regards to the expansion draft. Benning even said himself, "Yea, I'm not worried about that." They're that reactionary and careless. I hope they prove me wrong on the issue.

How many games is Hughes allowed to play so that he would not have to be protected in the Seattle Entry draft? I've seen different numbers all over the place including this forum. Anything from:
1) If he signs at all even if he doesn't play he has to be protected because he is looked at as a 20 year old and his contract doesn't slide.
2) If he signs we can play him up to 9 games
3) If he signs we can play him up to 11 games.
I always thought it was 9 games allowed and after that we need to protect him.

Benning doesn’t care about the expansion draft. He’s on record about this already. If Hughes can’t play more than 10 games before he is considered eligible to be selected, I expect Benning will play him 11.

if the 9 game math is right, i think they take him on the road trip to bond then debut him against the sens at home where they have last change.
Now this article suggests he is allowed to play up to 10 games to be exempt.... still no definitive answer.
None?
9?
10?

I asked this guy from school who knows all these details and he said he CAN play 9 games and NOT have to be protected against Seattle. So he can play some games, that IS the bottom line incase people are wondering they dont really need to keep worrying. You know, unless he plays 10 or more games

CBA Section 10.2 (a) states that, at Hughes' age, 10 pro games under a standard player contract earns a year of professional experience. That article needs to be corrected.

Thought I wasn’t going to be able to watch the game but I found out that the BTN2Go app has it. Sweet.

Quinn’s skating is going to open up a lot of room for Elias and Brock. The last part of this season is going to be really interesting to see how it works.

Just blocked a shot and came off on an icing. Pretty sure he’s just sore and it’s nothing major.
Edit: He didn’t come back on the ice for the rest of the third. Going to OT now
2nd update: On the bench for OT but hasn’t had a shift. Threw his stick into the boards after he tried to skate around on a stoppage.

Yeah he started OT on the bench but after a few minutes the commentators said that he'd gone to the dressing room.
Is this for real? Michigan loses the opener and could be done by Sunday.
Meantime, Hughes arrives in Canucks camp on crutches like J.J. Daigneault. You can't make this stuff up.

Unbelievable! If there's a crack in the bone, then he's casted up and we we won't see him until September. And even if it's a deep bone bruise, he's unlikely to suit for the Canucks since there's only 13 games left.
Can we hit the stop-button and just put this ugly season in the rear-view mirror tied up with a red ribbon on it. The next shoe to drop is Pettersson or Boeser getting hurt. .
