He has a little Phil housley in him too. About the same height / build and tremendously smooth. Phil ended up with 1000+ points.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing lacking really is the booming point shot threat. The way Juolevi and Hughes can tape-to-tape the puck around, even if they play off them they can't cover everyone. Why you think Pettersson's 100 mph shot won't get better. He has a rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory40 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 McDavid made Edmonton instantly better. Pettersson and Hughes make us instantly better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rush17 Posted June 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hey guys, here is the NBC broadcast of the draft featuring our good men Bob Mckenzie, Craig Button, and Pierre McGuire. New interviews you may not have seen. Includes one with Quinn immediately getting off the stage and one with his father. Far better coverage than the negative stuff burke was spewing. Quinn's father said Jim was trying to trade up to secure Quinn which is an interesting admission. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I need a tony stretcher and Quinn Hughes pairing now. Nevermind the size problems, they both play big games and together will be perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brings a smile to my face to watch. The guy is electric out there. After seeing him with Cecconi I could see him pairing quite well with a big stay at home D-man who can make a good hard d to d pass. A guy like Gudbranson could flourish beside Hughes. I just hope he would be smart enough to leave the ego at the door and pass the puck to Hughes. Pairings I would be excited to see next year are: Edler - Stecher Juolevi - Tanev Hughes - Gudbranson Pouliot/Hutton/Del Zotto - Biega Edited June 25, 2018 by monkey2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathbyoompa Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Quinn may not have a booming shot but, in the vids I’ve seen he seems to have a knack for getting the puck to the net. Maybe more important than a hard shot. How many goals has Burns got with that weak wrister that he always seems to get through a crowd? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pulls players towards him at high speed and then effectively throws a change up by flipping the puck onto a soft spot on the ice in which his team mate skates through unchecked. That takes 1)speed 2)vision 3) puck skills Imagine Boeser or Petterson are the ones skating through the open ice and end up with the puck in the slot.... Can't wait.

The main difference i see with Burns is that he is a huge physical specimen at 6"5 230ibs I don't want to get too far ahead, but another similar offensive player I can relate Quin to is Erik Karlsson at (only) 6" 191 ibs is praised for his skating skill and reading the play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pairings I would be excited to see next year are: Edler - Stecher Juolevi - Tanev Hughes - Gudbranson Pouliot/Hutton/Del Zotto - Biega Interesting pairings, but MDZ will take up a spot until he is dealt at the trade deadline. I say he takes up Juolevi's spot until he is moved, so Juolevi starts in the AHL with some call ups and hopefully he has a good year and finishes the season off after the deadline or if he's better off staying the year, then give Sautner/Brisebois/Chatfield that opportunity (also could get more opportunity if Tanev is dealt). Hughes will be in college, so Pouliot/Hutton takes his spot next season. Will be interesting to see if he decides to turn pro once his season is done though. The defense might just be poor enough to keep us out of the playoffs for a lottery chance at Jack Hughes. But the year after, look out. Juolevi and Hughes become regulars hopefully along with Brisebois/Chatfield to revamp the defense. Demko should be taking on a bigger role if not taking over altogether. If we get a legit 2019 draft forward that could step in right away, then he along with Pettersson, Dahlen and the other potential young guns could make the 2019-2020 season look incredible.

Very smooth skaters. The best part is Quinn has lots of time work on his shot. Perhaps Petterson can show him how to unload. Still amazes me how much stank Petterson can get on his shot.

Maybe Sami Salo will come help out too, I always remember his rocket shot, and he is Juolevi's current mentor as well Speaking of which... just looked up Olli Juolevi I didn't realize he is actually 6"3 198 ibs already.. jebus.. hoping Sami can show him how to use it to his advantage re: slappers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juolevi rebounded nicely imo. Sami can only benefit our d prospects. I hope the nucks can get him over here. Think he would be far more useful to us here as opposed to Finland.

I can't say I have seen much of his play this past year tbh but it is nice knowing he has the frame and ability to fill out into a bigger defenceman that could have a booming shot coming from Quinn's slick passes. The future is bright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those prospects probably haven't even met (closely) our biggest big-game player yet either - Horvat - man will he be a great influence on the kids coming in. He is like the epitome of hard work paying off as may I say he does not have the 'gifted' ability as some of our newer kids seem to have but is a true work horse (an Ox more like ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
