Pure961089 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Yeah, letting players “season” in the minors when they’re ready to play in the NHL is the way to go. Just ask the New Jersey Devils when they let Nico Hischier spend a few seasons in the minors. Oh wait, they didn’t. They played him right out of junior and he played great. “But we need to coddle Quinn’s fragile mind” seriously? He’ll be just fine.

Unlike Hughes, it’s not just an occasional and unfortunate illness for him, but rather a lifelong affliction where “Benny Both Ends” splatters his verbal diarrhea and vomitous commentaries all over various sports media in this city. It's almost like a race to see who in the media can ask the most dumbass question(s) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Hughes had a later birthday he was eligible for the NCAA during his draft year. If Hughes were to return, it would be his 2nd year which isn't bad at all. That's why I think he'll turn pro but start the year in Utica. They both played two years of college each one year as an underager, very similar to the situation Hughes is in now.

Tre Mac Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I needed to know if Quinn had diarrhea and I respect Kuz for asking the tough questions no one else has the balls to ask. 50/50 on whether he stays or goes back to college. He has the skating to play in the NHL and it would be a treat to watch an 18yo play for the Canucks, on the other hand the NCAA can get him stronger and if this team is going to be lottery bound again it's probably best he is not around for all that losing. Injuries are a bitch with this team, especially on the back end. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 He stays. The only debate is fans and media, which have no say. So the correct debate is 55% feel he should go back to NCAA hockey. Management and Hughes group is staying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries are a bitch with this team, especially on the back end. Dumbest $&!# ever. Kuz asked the question as a joke and the other reporters around him gave an audible groan. Quinn did the obvious thing and didn't even address it... and now somehow it's a story? What planet am I on. It must be bizzarro world. My hope is he signs and gets sent to Utica. I know he doesn't want to be in the minors, but it's what is best for the team. We have 6+ rookies who are going to start in Utica and several of them will be his future teammates. Ryan Johnson said they had 69 practice days this past season. How would it be better for him to be taking basket weaving 201 rather than playing with the Comets? Signing bonus, plus AHL salary, plus playing with the group of studs he just got to know, should be all he needs to put him on a pro career trajectory.

WeneedLumme Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Of course he's going to sign. Wasn't it his Dad who described going back to college as the "worst case scenario"? It's obvious that Quinn wants to turn pro. And what did JB say about it? "He'll come to camp and then we'll see..." Can go back to college or turn pro and come to camp, but can't do both, and JB has already stated which one it's going to be. And my guess is that he plays at least 50 NHL games next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won't get up to 20 minutes per game until after Christmas. Right around the time the Calder talk starts heating up with QH and EP as neck-and-neck frontrunners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
