I watched all the Victoria games live. In particular i paid attention to the canuck picks (I am not scout but I played so im not completely arm chair). Off topic a bit - but I was super impressed with Madden's play.
Now QHughes, he is as advertised, top notch offensive defenceman, with a cocky feel to him. His turns, speed and passing is A+ at this level, yet to see how it translates in the bigs. His defence work was pretty good but he made some bad plays too, but that comes with ALL offensive D, even in the NHL. He will be learning a lot from Tanev, his stick work and positioning primarily because he will not be out muscling people.
As noted above - he setup a lot of really good chances for his team mates that they were not able to capitalize on, so i got the sense that he will look better offensively with better players aka NHL players.
To me the biggest piece was this feeling that he hasnt reached his ceiling yet, hard to define exactly why (speed, turns, passing noted above).
He was also very electric with his brother, you can see the chemistry there (once again a high skilled player).
