He said it is up to the Canucks, but feels he can step in and help, used his WC experience to feel he was ready . Was only on the ice for one goal against in the WC.

Brad Marchand Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Canuck Surfer said: If I recall my charts, most 7th overall picks play in year 2 after their draft. One year in junior, college or Europe? And in at roughly $1.5 mill. In Hughes case, I propose signing him at the tail of next year. Which burns an ELC year & makes him eligible to re-sign in the summer of 2021. For an average $4 mill a season with $3 to $5 mill already in the bank! Or...…………. He could play college till that same summer of 2021. The odds of him blowing off nearly $10 mill of earning power is both low, and stupid! This is the biggest reason Hughes isn't going to play out his college career. Two to three extra years of NHL salary isn't something that someone with his level of talent is going to turn down.

Yes i just watched the clip of Burke talking about Hughes, saying thats a small small body.. Hughes already played with NHL players on team USA ... He has the amazing skating and speed.. Hughes had a better year in college the Makar....... So excited for the future of Hughes.. Can't wait until are next great pick at # 37 tomorrow morning... There are 8 very good players that got passed over and one will be available for Vancouver tomorrow. We pick 6th in 2nd round... We will come out of draft with some great picks.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Our forwards better be ready, this kid can turn the puck up ice faster than any dman in the draft. For so long our boys have either ringed the puck around or ate it or cough it up. Hope he can be our answer to skate it out or make the right play.

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2018 So... one of Quinn’s best friends is Ryan Merkley and two of his former roommates were Matthew and Brady Tkachuk. Not the least bit worried. Just thought it was funny that his circle of friends sounds like a rogues gallery of character issues and douchebaggery. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the effortless skating I think. Phil was also five foot 10 but played in an era when you could hook, clutch and grab way more than they do now. Smooth skating, smart, great passer and put up 1200 points in his career in an era when it was a little rougher out there.
