I can see Lockwood and Madden in Utica, where they will both do really well. Does anyone know how Madden is doing for size? Unless he has really packed it on, (I think he was in 150's when drafted), I think another year in College, probably wouldn't hurt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may never enter another shootout again lol Pettersson - Boeser Hughes Until all 3 players mature further, those 3 may end up scoring as many as they allow. So, yeah we will see very few shootouts (win or lose). I think NHL should make 3-on-3 a bit longer too. Like 10 minutes would be great, but even 7-8 minutes would decide a lot of games.

I'd just rather he's playing top 6 minutes in College next season, instead of every second game in Utica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Madden should stay one more year in college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Bill Muckalt (Michigan's assistant coach) on Quinn Hughes: "Quinn's a dynamic player and a fantastic young man. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him. At the NHL you have to manage the game and that's the biggest thing for him to focus on moving forward." "Good thing he doesn't play goal. I love Vancouver and the passion but he is being sort of insulated here , he's not getting the tough questions you guys will be asking.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogy Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 With regard to Jim Benning's comment that he is not worried about signing Hughes and how that affects roster protection for the expansion draft, my speculation is that the organization will not play him more than 9 games this season. Following the pattern of Utica defence men call-ups this seasons, Hughes would be practicing with the team for at least a week before been eased into the lineup. He would also be pulled out of the lineup periodically for coaching reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is the only way to prevent him from needing protection is if he signs an ATO and plays in Utica for the rest of this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres another from Redditthat quotes cbc. Here's an excerpt from CBC when it came to exempt players for Vegas draft, which will apply to the Seattle draft. Which players are exempt? Prospects: All players with less than three years of professional experience are automatically exempt. That means young stars like Edmonton's Connor McDavid and Toronto's Auston Matthews don't need to be protected to remain with their teams. This provision also includes unsigned draft picks and signed players that have yet to appear in a NHL game. A year of professional experience is 10 pro games played under an NHL contract, including regular season and playoffs.

RonMexico Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 They need to sign him to a contract soon so Yahoo Fantasy Hockey can add him to their player pool before playoffs so I can sneakily add him as a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Great so we only need to wait until until there is 10-12 games left in the season before signing him ..and then sit him out for 1-3 games and we are good to go for the Seattle expansion draft! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
