And like, those eyebrows. Didn't you see? This has been a day long awaited for this franchise, getting a defenceman of this calibre. He was the ideal pick and the right player for this team.

iinatcc Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hughes, Boesser, Gaudette, Demko, and Cassels. I really hope this means Vancouver will have no problems attracting quality American free agents in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hughes, further ahead in development and he's younger. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quote me on it, but I believe they were saying earlier in the thread that Hughes had a better season than Makar in the NCAA...so even with a year ahead in development, Hughes is still better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makar has a better shot but other than than Hughes is superior in every other way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cuporbust Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) To those thinking he may want to play with his brother and not sign with us , I'd say there is a better chance whoever takes jack should be worried not us .

Darius Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is a great video package with examples of his passing, skating and shooting. Button practically pees his pants over some of the plays. For the older guys here....doesnt this look like a new improved Phil Housley (who was of the same build and very similar strengths) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hammertime Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2018 My "Hot take" on watching Hughes is let's not over coach him. Please. I want to watch him drive the play and use his creativity. Hughes is a far better prospect than J Subban was none the less I feel the confidence was coached out of him a bit and he could have been developed as an effective rover. Except the focus was always on getting stronger and being better defensively, "playing within the system". Rover is a tough job and give many coaches angina however this kid Hughes could be one of the best rover's in the game. With Elias and Brock we could see the most exciting trio this city has ever seen. To management let this kid play his game and dangle the forechecker rush the puck gain the blueline and dish to Bos Pete. Build "the system" around that. It has been so long since I have seen a Canuck player carry the puck across the opposing blue line. its always dump ins and drop passes and its so telegraphed teams have no trouble defending. #releasetheHughes. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack has already been recruited He is already a canuck . Anyone know much about little brother Luke? He’s like 14 (kid on the right in the photo), plays D, and has already been recruited to U of Michigan for 2021-22. Definitely wouldn’t bet against those bloodlines. EDIT: Did a little snooping on the web and found that the brothers agree Jack is the most talented (although when questioned on his own, Jack says Quinn is better—as a good brother would), but Luke may be the best skater of the bunch (if you can even imagine a guy who skates better than Quinn). Also some reports that Luke’s game is a carbon copy of his oldest brother’s. These kids may be the next set of brothers since the Staals to have three picked in the first round. So I’m calling it now: I want all the Hughes boys. Jack in 2019 and Luke in 2021. Oh, and here’s a look at Luke: Edited June 23, 2018 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 5 hours ago, Rob_Zepp said: Wow. I had no concept if him falling this far to Vancouver. I honestly think he could be the best player out of this entire draft including Dahlin. I am tired, been up since 6 AM my time yesterday but am currently very pumped that Canes got the best forward and Canucks may have the best Dman. Quinn is likely a year away but I would not be shocked if he made it out of camp either - his WHC showing was impressive and he did not look out of place. He has an edge and will become the league's next Ryan Ellis in my mind. Wow, I am so surprised. I think short of winning the entire lottery and taking Dahlin, this may have been Benning's pick at 2. Shocked and very happy for the Canuck organization. when Svechnikov was picked, and they started talking about people talking about lying about his age, hahahaha, he looks like a fully grown man, and then he started talking at his draft interview and he sounded like a 28 year old man ahahahahha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken. Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Love how is brothers talk about him here... super skilled.. super great person. He definitely had an influence on why Jack is such a stud IMO Jack also says he knows that Quinn wanted to get picked by Van, hockey market, etc.. seems like the type to relish under pressure. It will be interesting as I'm sure a lot of people are counting him out based on size. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/video/draft--hughes-brothers/t-277437438/c-60656903 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This kid will be a stud go watch his wc recently playing along and against nhl players.. does not look out of place at all.. who cares if he’s small there’s lots of small defencemen in the league and they made it work for them. This kid can skate and he can move the puck something we desperately need. Those are harder to find then a stay at home defensemen that have no offence capability beside we have Tanev for that already and gudbranson too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
