Popular Post khay Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thank you Marc Bergevin for not picking Zadina. If he picked Zadina, Detroit will for sure pick Quinn Hughes. HM to Chayka for picking Hayton (good pick in hindsight) rather than Zadina. Detroit, don't worry, Zadina will be a good player... just not as good as Q. 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthycanuck Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Mustapha said: The Calder trophy is about the most outstanding rookie, it's not like the Art Ross where you just hand the trophy to the person with the most points. Hughes has been getting a ton of points, but his 5 on 5 play is excellent, he has contributed to a ton of goals, even when he doesn't get an assist. He makes fantastic outlet passes every.single.time. I wouldn't trade Hughes for anyone else on the rookie scoring list, not even Makar. He's on another level. He might break the Canuck defenseman scoring record as a rookie. That's crazy. From what Ive seen from both this season, talent for talent, you put both of them on the ice same time, Makar is the better player But impact, different story, as many people stated and I think so too, Quinn Hughes has had much bigger, much more profound impact to this team than Makar with the Avs. I do believe if you switched both of them, Makar here, Hughes with the Avs, Makar would have more points than Q but it wouldnt equate to more wins. Hughes just makes his defensive partner and everybody in the ice better, something that Makar, as pretty as he gets the points, doesnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, Quinn Hughes already has more career points than Kotkaniemi, who is a forward and played an extra year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Elite offensive talent and puck moving master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I can't believe it, but I honestly think Hughes might actually be a better young player than Pettersson. Scoring 60+ points as a rookie defender (which it looks like he can) while remaining solid defensively is far more impressive than what Petey did as a rookie. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Great 5v5 player but not someone who's gonna be out there when we're holding on to leads late or on the PK. Not a traditional two-way D in that sense, he's utilized offensively but world class puck-moving and offensive talent. I don't expect QH to be used defensively in most regards, his size and skill set point him to be a more of an offensive defenseman but #1D can be more offensive for sure. He's world elite level at what he does for sure. Would love to acquire another Dman around his caliber but amazing at both ends, more so in his own. PP(though not needed) PK, match up, physical. Shea Weber type. Guy that's gonna be facing the McDavid's/Mackinnon's etc. Edited February 23, 2020 by Junkyard Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I think the All-Star experience has made Hughes an even better player. By being at the event and hanging out with the top players around the league made him a better player. Since the all-star break, he has been on a tear and start to play better and better each game on offensively and defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hughes currently sits 4th OA in All Defenseman scoring. Only 3 d-men in the league has more points than Hughes: Carlson, Josi and Hedman. That's it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungass Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Wow, hell of a game by Hughes last night. Carved up the Bruins every time the puck touched his stick. This kid is looking like a superstar right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Battlemonger Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 I've been really interested in Makar lately so I've watched quite a few Colorado games. No, doubt - Makar is good; really good, but Hughes is better. Makar is fast, very good positionally, has a great shot and passes well. Hughes has all that while using the whole ice and maintaining puck control. Makar does not control the game or drive play like Hughes does. I wouldn't trade Hughes for Makar straight up. No way. 3 3 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 Boston Bruins @ Vancouver Canucks, 2020-02-22according to this, Quinn Hughes had the highest amount of ice time against Begeron, Pastanark and Marchands line last night in the games against the Bruins. despite Edler being the big minute man in that game, it was Quinn Hughes and the Tanev pairing tasked to play against the Bergeron line. The NHL's best teams top line. Quinn Hughes had the most ice time against the the NHLs best teams 1st line in 5v5 game time. in this game no dman spent more 5v5 time against Bergeron, Pastnarak rat face lineMinnesota Wild @ Vancouver Canucks, 2020-02-19according to this, Quinn Hughes a long with Chris Tanev had the highest amount of 5v5 ice time against against Staal Fiala and Parise who represents the Wild top 3 scorers. Hughes also had the most ice time against Sutter, who is the Wilds 4th highest point getter. 5v5 ice time onlyAnaheim Ducks @ Vancouver Canucks, 2020-02-16according to this, Quinn Hughes had the most 5v5 ice time against out of all Canuck players against Getzlaf and Rackell. these 2 guys represent the Ducks top point getter. Quinn Hughes once again tasked with the most ice time against another teams top players. In this particular game Max Jones was the 2nd highest minute guy hes seen the most since Silverberg is suppose to be the 3rd highest point getter for the Ducks. Jones tasked for top line minutes in that game?Chicago Blackhawks @ Vancouver Canucks, 2020-02-12according to this, Quinn Hughes did not have the highest amount of ice time against Chicago's top line, that went too Chris Tanev in terms of 5v5 ice time. This will be against Patrick Kane, Quinn Tanev out of all Canuck players had the most 5v5 time against Patrick Kane and his line, while Quinn Hughes would score in 2nd most ice time against Kane. Edler 5v5 ice time saw Johathan Toews the most. I will assume Toews and Kane were on seperate lines. Quinn Hughes line combo tasked again to play against another teams top leading point getter.Nashville Predators @ Vancouver Canucks, 2020-02-10according to this Hughes did not have the most 5v5 ice time against preds top players, he was more like 3rd in ice time, but off by 30 seconds, as Edler and Tanev lead the team in 5v5 ice time against Predators top players. Either way most of Hughes ice time was against Matt Duchene and Mikael Granlund. in this game we had a big lead so I will assume Travis green was just cycling through the lines leisurely .Edmonton Oilers @ Vancouver Canucks, 2019-12-01this game is dated back in December 1st against the Oilers, and he had the most ice time against the McJesus line 5v5. I believe this game was actually the coming out party of Hughes actually being used to match up against another teams top line. Not that he didn't play against another teams top line previously. in this game, even strength ice time, Hughes had to face the best player in the NHL the most out of all his linemates.Vancouver Canucks @ Buffalo Sabres, 2020-01-11this is the most recent games against the Buffalo Sabres. Quinn Hughes had the highest amount of ice time against Eichel and Reinhart out of all Canuck players. even strength ice time. Jack Eichel and Reinhart are Sabres top scorers.Either way, Quinn Hughes have been playing non sheltered minutes for a very long time. He is not our minute eating player, but majority of ice ice time is against another teams top players and it's been this case for a long time now. In the 7 examples I've provided Quinn Hughes had the most even strength ice time against another teams top scorers. If you don't believe look at it for yourself. I don't talk smack, I don't spread false headlines or try to pimp anyone. the numbers are there for you to look at."he will never be a true number 1 dman"my ass. 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised, given he keeps healthy, and the addition of Tofoli ( who finishes better than Boeser ) he'll finish 3rd if not 2nd overall.
