Prospect Info: Quinn Hughes, Pt. IV

[Tryamkin]

Is he playing tonight?

no

 

[Horse McHindu]

So he's hurt before he even plays a game? Sounds like a Nuck to me.

LOL.

Yep. He’s definitely a Nuck.

 

[Fire Benning]

In a walking boot with a bone bruise, will be reevaluated in a week.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

He won’t be playing for a while.

Probably gets into the last 5-6 games of the season and we get a nice teaser.

1 week from today is the first of our last 9 games remaining. So that's perfect

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Worked out perfectly

 

[bardown88]

Worked out perfectly

Love it when a plan comes together

So glad he's staying out of this **** show for a while

 

[VanJack]

Naturally he's out for a week....after all, he just became a full-fledged Canuck defenseman. Guy plays the whole season in the NCAA and just before he signs in VanCity, he takes a shot off his ankle. You can't make this stuff up.

Looks like he'll be lucky to get into six or seven games. But he's obviously played a lot of hockey this year, so hopefully the Canucks early summer will get him into off-season training.

 

[Peen]

I really do wonder how much of us picking Hughes was because Weisbrod was at the hospital when he was born.

 

[strattonius]

It's pretty obvious to me that his ankle is probably a bit sore but could easily be played on.
Considering he is potentially the saviour to our blue line as well as 10 games from expansion eligibility it's clear to me that management is playing this situation very slowly.
It tells me they wont expose Hughes to the expansion draft, which is sort of encouraging given how incompetent this management group has looked at times.

There was never a chance he'd be exposed in the expansion draft. The issue is that they could be forced to protect Hughes, leading them to expose someone else that they'd otherwise want to keep.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

we have no PP QB he'll get a lot of PP points through that opportunity alone. I can see his ES points being nerfed a bit by having to play more conservatively at NHL level. While 25-30 would be very disappointing, 45 seems unlikely without Green giving him permission to take a lot of risks and that doesn't seem like a Green thing.

I dont know.

25-30 point rookie Dman is kinda good.
30p would make him a top 30 producing rookie d man since the 04 lock out.

Hughes puts up 20 points playing in at least 50% of the game next year that’s a huge success of a season.

What do you mean plays 50% of the game..?

 

[PetterssonSimp]

What do you mean plays 50% of the game..?

Like he plays at least 41 games next year. Missed the s with predictive text.
Mostly I mean he’s capable and available to play that many games. Between injuries and coaching decisions

 

[krutovsdonut]

if hughes can make the transition and play regular minutes you would think 30 points is in reach over 82 games. if he can handle the nhl i think the offence will be there.

 

[MS]

Sergachev’s 17-18 season is a reasonable expectation.

15 minutes/game hugely sheltered with 80% o-zone starts and heavy PP usage where he racks up a fair few points. Probably not quite as many as Sergachev without Stamkos and Kucherov but getting to 30-35 total shouldn’t be unreasonable.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Sooooo many Canucks tropes.

Ideally, I'd want him on the second pairing with a defensive defenseman veteran like Luke Schenn next season and just bring him along. Re-sign Schenn right now and let him know what he has to look forward to next season so he can mentally prepare for it. Get the right trainers and coaches around Hughes now. And just build this into a success story. This is what I'm hoping happens.

It is very exciting to have a prospect like this.

I'd be interested is seeing how he plays with someone like Stecher who can also move the puck and also transitioned from college.

Only issue cause some posters dissect each and every word JB says. Were not concerned translates to them as we are not worried about the number of games he plays versus we will take care of the situation. People believe what they want to believe.

People form an opinion based on information.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Hopefully we show him Pronger videos.

I was hoping for Bobby Orr.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

People form an opinion based on information.

Information is the input, opinion is the output but the basis is a person’s perception and pre-existing beliefs.

Which can be incredibly biased and flawed.
