But I'd think in a redraft they both go #1 in their respective year! I know they were different years. I probably should have been more clear. Stick them both as they are right now in a draft, which one gets taken at the top. My guess is that it would depend on the team who had the top pick as to which went first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the lotto, the rumours were that JB was high on Maker and he appears to be right on the mark for a dman that is going to be very special. Can't discount Heiskanen either. In the end, I think the Canucks have ended up very well with Pete and Quinn, who will be significant factors in turning this franchise around. If you go back to the draft thread, you'll see that I was ecstatic that Quinn fell to the Canucks. I was very high on Quinn. I can't wait until he's done building up and filling out his frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I like about Hughes is that he gets into position to take quality shots. If it puts him out of position to get back in his own end if the shot doesn't get through, he has the speed to recover. He doesn't just stand still at the top of the zone and shoot towards the net and pray that it goes in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jake had that he'd be a monster out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It's like last season when Binnington was in the running - at 25 years old - and a relative AHL journeyman, who had cleared waivers at least once. He didn't belong in the discussion imo - and neither does Olofsson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s amazing and just getting started. it will be interesting if there is a biased against Canucks having 2years of Rookies in the Calder race...in Brock and winner Petey. i hope that Biased hockey TO people don’t factor in and they give Quinn a fair chance to win it. There is one way to take care of that scenario, and that is to absolutely run away with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oldnews Posted October 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) 3 pts in 4 games might not make him a clear Calder front-runner. but more important (to me) is the rest of his game. A guy can drive play with the puck on his stick, and produce, but if they're a liability without it, they give it back the moment the team is not in possession. One of the real question marks with Hughes (for some) was what he'd be capable of on the defensive side of the game. Thus far - for me at least - he is really exceeding expectations - and that is a full one-half of the game -where, if he excels - it will not only enhance his play-driving (you can't drive play without the puck and you can drive play a hell of a lot more by limiting opponent's possession). I've been really impressed with how crafty/subtle he's been defensively - he unquestionably has the wheels to recover against the rush/in transition - but he's also been quite good in attacking the puck - he looks somewhat like Stecher in this sense, who utilizes very good timing to get in and intervene without necessarily having to overpower an opponent. Hughes has that ability to also retrieve pucks and turn into transition before anyone can close on him - imo he's really showing signs of a young player that takes developing his complete game seriously, and I've been surprised by him thus far - I did not expect him to have this few 'vulnerablities' this early. That may not factor into (reductive) Calder metrics/factors - but for me, he's been even better than I was expecting/hoping - because of his play off the puck (playing with a 'finesse' shutdown guy like Tanev, and an undersized two-way guy like Stecher might help - they are pretty good examples of how to play to your strengths imo).
