Dmen by way of their position require physical contact and strength. Now I am not saying small guys can't be strong or solid but bigger men usually end up winning most contests of strength both board battles and net presence. There are just not many 5'9" dmen in the league Totally agree. Good thing Hughes is 5'10". Whew...that was a close one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Lindros was absolutely crushed by Scott Stevens, his vastly superior size did not stop him from multiple concussions. First thing about not getting a concussion is not getting hit, something Hughes excels at. It amazes me how 5'11" is a shrimp to small to play the game and 6' is all good. Average height in the league is 6'1". I am 6'3" 205lbs and suck at hockey (that last one is just a fun fact). You're frickin huge. Why didn't JB draft you!!?? Man JB sucks lmao.

Phat Fingers Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Tas, As for crack for Jack, Just say no, Tas, just say no. Let the players play this season in Vancouver. Horvat and Boeser deserve an all out effort from the team, they are the new leaders. Pettersson isn’t going to give a little less. These guys aren’t going to look at who Vancouver can draft next season. They will be giving it their all, every night. The entire org has to focus on the players it has, and show those guys that the effort is there. . Let Jack crack for us.... He can play with his brother easily, just take his foot off the gas a bit. Let other players pass him in the rankings Never happen... maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's been funny to watch @TheGuardian_ flip flop in his position to try to spin Hughes as a terrible pick. First it was "Why didn't we draft BPA!?" and it was pointed out that Hughes actually was the top rated D after Dahlin by many rankings. Now it's "He's too small!" despite Hughes being an inch taller than Krug and Spurgeon, while only being 2" shorter than Karlsson and PK Subban. Next I imagine it will be "He doesn't smile enough!" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The only reason he may have been disappointed is because Zadina fell and DET drafted him instead. The Hughes family must've been almost certain DET would pick Quinn. But DET passed on him, and that probably felt pretty shocking. By the time VAN made their pick, he was probably still in disbelief DET passed on him. He's an 18 year old kid who's about to play in the NHL, his dream. I doubt very much he's unhappy about playing in Vancouver. He doesn't come off as an entitled punk. The opposite actually. One day I hope he takes it to DET every time we play them.

Brovat Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I concur ^ let Jack bunk with Jake. That’s my suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Crack for Jack? Pass. Sounds even worse than drafting a kid with a video game addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Yes, I know Luongo was born in Canada - the point I was trying to make is that, even when he played here, he lived in the USA, with his family (who are all Americans). He's not Canadian anymore, he lives in the US and he wanted to go back to be with his family. The fact that he has Canadian citizenship doesn't matter, for all intents and purposes he's American. His home has been in the US for many, many years now. Hmm sounds personal.. Although.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petterson can play wing easily Petterson Hughes Boeser line can be as scary as our WCE back in the days. How do you expect to win with our subpar injury prone defense and very inconsistent goaltending anyways? there's no consolation prize for just missing the playoff. i'm not saying they should tank but i wouldn't go out of the way to sign free agents just to pretend the team is better than it shown in the standing the past 3 years Yes, in terms of offensive potential. No, in terms of intimidation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
