I hope he is a good pick for them I'm not an Arizona fan, but the fans there deserve some good fortune. The Petterson pick through me for a loop too last year and look how that's turning out. i see, but for some of us he wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 12 year old is bigger than him. I hope the best for him and the organization. As as long as he can hold his own against larger centers and maintain his own defensively I’ll be happy. he held his own at the worlds. I would take small, fast and smart over 'big body' any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Perfect time for Canucks to be rebuilding and drafting high.. So much skill and speed with these kids coming up... Canucks are going to be one of if not the most fun team to watch in a few years... Pettersson Boeser Hughes and hopefully another Hughes next year.... Rebuild is looking great... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NHL97OneTimer Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2018 Just throwing this out there......I hope the media isn't all over this in the same way (i.e. hoping this Hughes is the gateway to the other Hughes). Let's let Quinn enjoy this day without hearing about his brother!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have too many small D on a champion and Hughes is alot more talented than Stech. But I guess any decision along those lines is years away. That issue aside, Tryamkin coming back would be like adding a top 4 D to your roster. Nevermind one that's 6'7 and can skate. And he has interest in coming back too. I can't wait for the day he's back in a Canuck's jersey. You also have to remember that another, similar player is also in the pipeline - Rathbone. If Rathbone turns out to be a player (and he is very promising right now) there could be a logjam of small players on the blue line - particularly is Pouliot sticks. Rathbone, Pouliot, Stetcher, and Hughes would make for a very small defence. At least two of them will be redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Mixed feelings: - happy with Hughes - happy we didn't pick Wahlstrom (had a bad feeling about his attitude) - hoping that not picking Dobson won't come back to haunt us (not just for size, but also for being a right hand shot) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have really rounded out our D nicely. Juolevi, Hughes, Tryamkin is not a bad trio to work with though. A lot really does hinge on Tryamkin coming back though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure some like Bartkowski can skate well, but Hughes has the high hockey IQ and creativity to not only put up points but control the game. We've never actually had a dman like that. Ever. 3 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Really didn’t think this kid would be around for us to pick... especially past Detroit. Zadina falling changed the equation big time. What a great nab. Kid was compared to Orr. Have we ever had anything close to this as a D prospect? (And I’m high on Juolevi, but completely different player). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) If Wilde falls to Toronto, I’d consider moving Tanev. Total future move, but I could get behind it. ...oops wrong thread. Edited June 23, 2018 by ilduce39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I never expected Quinn to fall in the draft. And anyone who has ridiculed me for saying Rasmus Dhalin is not the best defensman in this draft. I am looking forward to seeing this kid prove me right. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nucks have guys that look like Dobson, but we don't have a Hughes. I thought the canucks wanted him, but didn't think he would be there. Chicago and the Oil passed on Dob as well. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is one of his best attributes, while he may be small he uses his elite skating and awareness to shut down attackers. Being small he'll get overwhelmed down low occasionally but I think he'll make up for that with his ability to makes defensive plays in the open ice. He really is elite defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
