Ffs....... It's an honest statement though from a GM perspective. I would have liked to hear Burke talk about the good stuff of Hughes but his comments were not inaccurate (small, risk with college). Benning has a history of not panicking and playing it right with the US college players which no doubt is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also already stronger and has better body positioning than Petterson. Our D sucks, if he wants to play in the NHL this season he will. I think it's fine either way. A year with Tanev while he's still around would be great for Hughes, but so would playing with his brother and world juniors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs....... If I recall my charts, most 7th overall picks play in year 2 after their draft. One year in junior, college or Europe? And in at roughly $1.5 mill. In Hughes case, I propose signing him at the tail of next year. Which burns an ELC year & makes him eligible to re-sign in the summer of 2021. For an average $4 mill a season with $3 to $5 mill already in the bank! Or...…………. He could play college till that same summer of 2021. The odds of him blowing off nearly $10 mill of earning power is both low, and stupid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Do we know if he plans to sign this summer, or go back to school next year? In the post draft interview he was talking about how he thinks he can step in and help us right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALLLLLLY upset he gets to watch his Flames sit through the first 3 rounds of the draft for Travis Freakin' Hamonic. Islanders selecting Wahlstrom/Dobson adding more salt in the wound.

It seemed to me that he lost a step and it took most of the season for him to get on track. Thought Stecher was great the last couple months.

Darius Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 After watching the kid fit in at the worlds earlier this year on the American team he reminded me of Phil Housely. Its the effortless skating I think. Phil was also five foot 10 but played in an era when you could hook, clutch and grab way more than they do now. Smooth skating, smart, great passer and put up 1200 points in his career in an era when it was a little rougher out there. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
