Go to the Av’s board if you prefer their players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched him play; I mean really watched? He’s atrocious without the puck on his stick and attacking. Yes, he’s great when he is attacking with the puck, but (in the old NHL) he’d be in the minors. I have watched him play. And your assessment is laughable at best alf. While he's not a shutdown dman by any means, he is far from atrocious without the puck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He often gets lost in coverage, because he doesn’t really get the defensive game. Like I said, he’s great attacking with the puck, but he’s terrible defensively. Quinn is a far more complete player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makar does great things offensively with the puck. He needs to greatly improve his defensive awareness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the league seems to be trending away from that assertion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really curious to see how Quinn's game is in the back half of the season. If the team gets better, so will he. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Go Canucks, grind out another!!!! Game notes and predictions; McDavid goes home with nightmares that derail his season Petey and Noeser come alive Questions start to arise (as they should) over the quality of Oiler goaltending.

SLIGHTLY, that doesn't make me a troll in any way. It’s too early to make that assessment right now. Hughes is one year younger. The Avs have a better offensive team right now. Hughes may have the edge defensively although they both need to work on their defensive side of the game. We need a couple more years to see where both are at. If the Canucks goi for Barrie in the summer then that would make Hughes a better fit for the Canucks as Barrie is a right shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
