Even in college, you can see his forte isn't to score goals, it's to draw defenders to him then make the accurate pass to the goal scorer. Hughes is a playmaker, for sure. He hopefully develops a better shot to add too the package. Hughes needs a partner with size and a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait for him to rack up a lot of assists from those EP clappers from the PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a change from last year where Pronman had Pettersson at #9 and Button had him at #1.https://www.tsn.ca/russian-wingers-top-tsn-s-ranking-of-nhl-affiliated-prospects-1.1241872 hfboards (puke ) says button has Hughes at 8 not 1. I tried to confirm but tsn seems to be down. Edit: button has Quinn Hughes at #8 for mid season nhl team affiliated prospect rankings. He has Jack Hughes at 1 for draft eligibles.....FYI. So Pronman has Q Hughes at 1 and button has him at 8. Gaudette has dropped down to 41 from 26. Demko dropped down to 46 from 42.

Subjective rankings from failed GM's and prognosticators mean very little when it comes to players actually playing. I can't wait to see him play in the NHL and turning players inside out.

We could use him on the wing with Bo! Wow! Then sign EK on July 1. Can you say parade down Georgia spring 2020? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're assuming we won't make the playoffs and win the lottery, but Petey has the ability to wear this team like a knapsack and take them to places that they never should have been. I wouldn't spend the money it would take to get Karlsson, because EP40 is going to command a huge salary in a couple years. Just keep swinging for the fences at the draft and build a team the way Winnipeg has. Sure and steady wins the race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chara signed with the Bruins as a UFA. We do Hughes coming, so maybe we don’t need a top UFA Dman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Silvia Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 These kids know their own strengths and weakness better than anyone. He knows what he needs to work on. Quinn's legs are tree trunks. Once he adds some upper body/core strength that shot will come along just fine. He's 19 years old. Strength will come naturally and put to rest this non-NHL shot talk.

Lol Im not saying that he wont get stronger and i think he'll do more than fine in the NHL. I just can't picture him with big legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't want to suffer through the losing years, but I don't hold it against him. If he comes back to this team in a couple years, he is going to be a game changer for this team. They will need the type of physical play he brings to replace a worse version of himself in Gudbranson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EK is pretty close, but doesn't have Quinn's puck skills, or quickness. Quinn is unique. You heard it here first folks, Burns can't even come close to QH, but Karlsson is pretty close. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! Burns is not nearly the skater as Quinn, especially with the puck. EK is great. Hope we sign him this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
