Rollieo Del Fuego Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 The pundits are already saying Quinn would be in the top 3 in a re-draft...with one saying he thinks in a year or 2 Quinn might prove to be the best player out of that draft... Which would make him generational...as that is moniker given to Dahlin. Sounds right to me...no-one controls the puck better and has more escapability than Quinn does right now...and he is improving week by week...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debate between Dahlin and Hughes will run for years, but its extremely possible that we got the best player out of that draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that too but as of THIS MOMENT, I'm more inclined to say top 3 than top 2 right now, but absolutely in a couple years can move up to top 2. Generational maybe too soon to say, but if he can challenge for the Norris over an approximate period of 5 years then absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svech has been killing it this year, he's got everything. Size, speed, hands. Can only hope Podz can turn out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The debate between Dahlin and Hughes will run for years, but its extremely possible that we got the best player out of that draft. for sure, the Petey and Hughes drafts are home runs. For me the Dahlin - Hughes thing will come down to if Dahlin uses his size advantage more or not. Hughes is too small to be a physical force and while Dahlin does hit, note sure he's much of a physical threat yet. Hughes is able to make so much room for himself with his skating and his passing is just so good offensively I think he's already tied or maybe surpassed Dahlin by a little bit. But as a complete d man the jury is still out, they are both too young to know who's going to emerge as the more complete player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 in a re-draft Elias would go #1 in 2017 in a re-draft Hughes would go # 1-2 in 2018 in a re-draft Boesser would go #13 in 2015 imo we still need another top winger to make our 2nd line really dangerous every game, and we need a big, mobile, physical shut down d man than can play on the first pair.

That wouldn’t make him generational. that would make him....... annual. Lol.

I think what del Fuego is saying is that Dahlin was heralded as being generational and if Quinn proves to be better, that should make him generational... or is it "foundational," maybe ask JB what he thinks...annual tho? what are you talking about? flowers? annuals or perennials??? https://www.thespruce.com/definition-of-annual-plants-2132403 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahah i just think the term generational and even elite are so dumb and over used. Canucks don’t have anything close to a generational player, and arguably never have. Bure would be the closest to ‘best player of his generation’. Edited December 9, 2019 by drummerboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 So 2018. It's not Hughes vs Dahlin, Dahlin isn't even dialed into the conversation for best young defensive phenom anymore. Its Hughes vs Makar now. Hughes was the underdog then and now. Let the hype train anoint it's latest 'generational talent' while Quinn racks up the points and almost single handedly turns around the worst defensive core last year into a respectable one as a rookie while adding his name lists only the truly great d men to ever play get on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kanukfanatic Posted December 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2019 We need to remember though the following: Dahlin 19 yrs Hughes 20 yrs Makar 21 yrs 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I would still take Dahlin over Hughes at this point for that draft, but Hughes has closed the gap. Dahlin got 44 points as an 18 year old dman at the NHL level. He was on pace for 56 as a 19 year old before being concussed. Hughes on pace for 67 points as a 20 year old is impressive in its own right, but Dahlin could conceivably be there or more at the same age. Dahlin has the size advantage and could become an all round minute munching dman whereas Hughes likely is a solid offensive beast, but will need someone else to take on the harder minutes like PK. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Dahlin is 6 months younger than Hughes He scored 9 goals 44 Pts as an 18 yr old last year. He's also 6'3 200lbs as a 19 yr old. He's on LTIR last cpl weeks. That's why ppl haven't been hearing his name lately.

Too early to count chicks still, regardless. Offensive Dmen can disappoint. Greene Campbell Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn Hughes is proving that he is clearly a more valuable player to us than Dahlin is to the Sabres. I predicted at the start of the season that Quinn will score 60 + points this season, and that destroys what Dahlin did. Plus, Hughes is more aware defensively. I'm very happy we fell in that draft, and got Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
