Quinn Hughes has made the Calder Trophy race far closer than mid-season voting suggests - TheHockeyNews

Oh no! This is going to send the psychotic Avs fans on the main board into conniptions!

Can I say that without getting the banhammer? Conniptions, I mean?

Hughes was not BPA at 7 in '18...he was in a muddled group of 4 (Dobson, Bouchard, Smith and Boqvist) I think most of us forget that he had "no pointshot" at all.... like think Henrik. He developed that shot you saw last night AFTER being drafted. Same thing with Horvat and his skating, Pettersson with his endurance.

Although no one would say that we are masters at developing elite talent, you have to give the scouts props that they identified prospects with the potential to overcome the 'knock' on them. Up until the beginning of this season, I was skeptical that we can play him top 2 minutes. Man was I wrong.

Man was I wrong too

Who knows where we’d be without him?

He’s absolutely incredible.

 

[CherryToke]

The Pat Kane comparisons are legit and his impact is on the same level.

Would you trade Quinn Hughes for Jack Hughes one for one at this moment?

I wouldn’t.

 

[canuckking1]

Hughes>Makar

 

[Icebreakers]

This guys gonna command 10+m per year at the end of next year.

I wouldn’t.

f*** no.

You don’t trade a player like Quinn Hughes. We have no idea what his full potential is. He could be a perennial PPG dman for the next 15 seasons for all we know.

Jack has 6 goals. Quinn is now outscoring him in goals.

 

[canuckking1]

So weird. Every year we have a rookie outdo the super rookie that came before them

We had Boeser outdone by Petey and now we're having Petey's rookie season being outdone by Hughes.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The main problem with him being this good this early.

Would have been better if he was a 30-40 point dman until he signed a bridge, and then exploded into a 60-80 point star. But that rarely seems to happen anymore.

 

[PG Canuck]

I can’t believe he’s all ours.

 

[Tony Stacks]

Would you trade Quinn Hughes for Jack Hughes one for one at this moment?

I wouldn’t.

Quinn Hughes is worth more than 2 Jack Hughes' at the moment.

 

[Melvin]

Two more goals and he hits another sched A bonus. He was going to max out his bonuses regardless but a few weeks ago I didn't think the one for 10 goals was in reach. Unreal.

 

[Ainec]

Quinn Hughes is worth more than 2 Jack Hughes' at the moment.

if luke hughes is as good as jack I'd trade quinn for jack and luke

and then sign quinn as a UFA

 

[Dab]

Is Quinn Hughes elite?

 

[Hansen]

Luke Hughes had a hot start this year but is not putting up anywhere close to the numbers that Quinn and Jack did at the same age

 

[Icebreakers]

Luke Hughes had a hot start this year but is not putting up anywhere close to the numbers that Quinn and Jack did at the same age

Thats actually incorrect.

Luke has already out produced Quinn in his 16 year old season in less games (17 less games). Quinn didnt break out until his 17 year old season.

I might have mixed up years but isn't Luke's draft season next year? Was Quinn a late birthday?

Edit: Used my fingers to count this time, Luke is performing very well

 

[Icebreakers]

Yes Lukes draft year is next year.

Quinn was a late birthday, but birth year is the only comparisons one should make pre draft. Their birth months are only 1 month apart. They were essentially the same age in their 16 year old seasons.

Yes youre correct

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Three brothers at the top of the draft: number 1, number 7 and not sure where Luke goes but looks like another top pick.
That's just insane. I'm not sure that's ever been done in any sport that relies on a draft?
