Team Bagues Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Jester13 said: He's making the team next year. He's NHL ready, as he showed at the world's. This kid runs a line. The concerns about his defensive play should be distinguished because when he's on the ice his team almost always has the puck. Boeser, Pettersson, and Hughes... we have been getting some major draft luck lately. These guys are exactly what we've been needing. As others have said, I haven't been this excited right away about a draft pick ever. Hughes could turn out to be the steal of this draft - our very own Patrick Kane ho plays D It's funny, when Burke was commenting on Hughes 'small body' over and over P. Kane came to mind in his draft year. Watching Hughes highlights I kept seeing a D with forward like dangles and skating. I was skeptical about the D going in (thinking we were on the Dobson or Bouchard path), but now that I'm seeing what Hughes brings I think we got real, real lucky. I guess Detroit had no choice and had to take Zadina - I'm still pretty shocked though that they passed on an elite puck moving d-man. We are fortunate that the Yotes have such a heart-on for analytics - and that they already have OEL. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 So happy about this pick. Finally we will have a d man who can skate with our speedy forwards and pass them the puck in full flight. I can already see Hughes and Virtanen being a huge force pushing the opposition back easily. We’ve got a great bunch of players coming up the next few years and lots of competition for the foreseeable future which means they’ll have to earn it and push their game to the next level to be on the big club.

cbdoubleu Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I kind of liked Bouchard’s total package but I assumed Hughes wouldn’t be there so I just hoping to get the 3rd best dman in the draft. With this shift to every team seemingly having a highly skilled speedsters on the back end it’ll be interesting to see how this changes the game in 3 or 4 years. So many situations where your d man will be leading the rush on transition with the responsible forward being the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegionOfDoom Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Now if we can get some more d prospects or picks out of edler and tanev. I already love our top 4 to be hughes juolevi tryamkin Gudbranson I know guddy has a lot of haters on here but I disagree with a lot of the comments I read and the uncertainties of try returning but I got faith both will pan out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podz92 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 After watching the draft and re-watching the video of the Canucks drafting Quinn Hughes over and over I can honestly say I am so super glad that Brian Burke doesn't have anything to do with the Canucks any more. The dinosaur would have us drafting someone similar to Mackenzie Stewart or Shawn Antoski. Lol get with the times Brian you're a horrible judge of hockey talent! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lat year Matthews won it and Nylander and Marner were 5,6 in voting so not offically finalists I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchincanucks Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Am I the only one praying Detroit would take Hughes and we get Zadina? Probably not I’m guessing. Not upset about the pick, even though I wanted Boqvist because of his shot. I had Zadina at 2 ahead of Svechnikov, Boqvist at 4 and Hughes at 7. Think Hughes is closer to nhl ready than Boqvist, hoping he makes the team out of camp this year, cause Boqvist won’t imo. Was hoping for a centre in round 2, thought there were a few better options left on the board, but woo offers something we don’t currently have so not bad. Thinking Olofsson with his friends from Timra would have been good in the locker room. Clearly our our focus this draft was on defence meaning next year should be to improve our Center depth. Sure am glad Arizona screwed the pouch so we got who Jim wanted, and I hope he was right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 4 out of 4 are fighting for the calder then holy cow. We would not be a lottery pick again for maybe a decade. This team is looking like it could be a very fast team, If not the fastest team in the NHL. Look how slow the McDavids Oilers looked last year. Speed is a team game. I am so stoked. YEH BABY!

redhdlois Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 So will he be at the Summer Showdown ? If so ticket sales just went up. I wasn't going to go prior to the draft, but am considering it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Welcome Hughes, wasn't my choice at #7 but lets hope you can become a top pair D that can be effective in both ends of the ice. Put some mass on that frame and work like a dog on your shot! Best of luck, your going to need it in this market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Darius Posted June 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Found this circulating on HF....the table's reaction when they realized Zadina and Hughes were still on the board prior to the Detroit pick JB's reaction is like when you see money at your feet on the sidewalk and you look around to see if anyone else is watching lol Edited June 25, 2018 by Darius71 3 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
