kenhodgejr Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The anticipation of Hughes playing for the Canucks reminds me a bit of Bure. Hopefully he will have a similar first game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 If he plays in Ottawa for his first game he'll also get to share that with Brady Tkachuk, who's one of Quinn's good friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted March 10, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2019 Brock Boeser on Quinn Hughes: "If and when he signs, the experience he'll get in this last month is huge. When I played those nine games, it proved to me how fast the game is and how strong guys are, and you go into the summer knowing what you have to do to be ready for a full NHL season." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Quinn Hughes is the only reason left to watch this team the rest of the season. Adding him could re-invigorate EP 40 and Brockstar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the game is in Vancouver since the Canucks were in Ottawa earlier at the peak of EP40 mania. But I agree that would be a nice spot for him. Let him heal and rest up. Get with the trainers. Maybe get a full practice in with the boys before he jumps in the fray. Quinton Hughes watch is officially on after tonight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I know we rushed Brock into a game immediately. If Hughes signs in the next day or so, I would think it would be wise to bring him to Van, see the doctors just to double check the ankle. Then get a couple practices and makes his debut after the Wednesday game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Probably wise to have QH start his NHL career on the road. Lessen the over hyped expectations a bit ! Miss the first two games to practise team systems, Dallas/ Chicago on the road, then Ottawa as first home game. He will have to sit out at least 3 games to help out with the Seattle ED, so might as well ease him in !

I agree with you, but I think the owner and GM will want to dangle this new carrot to the fans ASAP. Also, JB isn't worried about playing Hughes too much make him not exempt from the Seattle draft. GM's have a shelf life, JB is trying to do what he can NOW to save face and keep his job. There is no guarantee he will even be the GM when that expansion draft happens. I think most of us CDC fans want us to play Hughes but in a calculated manor so he is exempt. My only thought is if we do play him the 10 games or more are we really going to have to expose a D who is better than Hughes instead? I mean the D is a complete mess, are we giving Edler a NMC for automatic protection...god I hope not. Are we giving the always injured glass man Tanev a new deal to stay a Canuck going into the expansion draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Who will be Q's first NHL defense partner in game one of his NHL carreer? Alex Biega, Luke Schenn, Troy Stecher or Alex Edler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stech would show Hughes how to play as a smaller D-man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Green playing Pooalot so much is really starting to urk me....doesn't he see what we see...? Brisebois would be so much better and needs the reps...or bring up Chatfield if he is healthy...anyone but the Poo'r... Quinn playing with Stetcher ...even though they are so small ...would still work for a few games anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
