ruilin96 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 He had 1 season where he absolutely light it up from the back-end. Seems more like a offensive/powerplay specialist type of player. He is a 3rd pairing D-man who would put up some points playing on a team's top unit Powerplay. Won't be a good fit here because no way Hughes isn't our QB for the first unit powerplay. I could see him go somewhere like Pittsburgh, especially if they move on from Letang and Schultz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna end up in Edmonton. And get first line minutes. And then be shown to be not great. *THEN* he'll go to Pittsburgh. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 We do need a PP2 QB though. Another year of Edler running the PP, but not this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Somehow, I thought it was Erik Gudbranson. And if it were Gud, I was thinking that it might be worth bringing him back at 2-3 mil to pair with Hughes. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they'd look at Dylan DeMelo to pair with Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we could’ve used some of his physical play in the Vegas series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see Juolevi tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Schenn at a million any day of the week over a free Guddy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafs are all in then. Fits perfectly with their no defense D corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 don't blame the guy? more I like don't blame the Ducks. even a bad team doesn't want him it speaks for itself how bad Gudbranson has become over the past 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducks aren't complaining. He's performed better there than he has in Pittsburgh or Vancouver and they got him for nothing. They know he's not a permanent fit, he's just there as a stop gap. Hockeybuzz did a poll and 60% of the people(over a 100 people) said that they were happy with his performance given the expectations and circumstances around the Ducks.

Junkyard Dog Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Just now, MoneypuckOverlord said: LOL sure thing. it's the truth. They understand that his underlying numbers aren't great but he's there as a stop gap and so far with them his corsi numbers are better than the team average despite being the defenseman with most Dzone starts. He isn't a defenseman you want on a team that trying to win but the Ducks are rebuilding and he fits a role as a stop gap rebuilding defenseman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here people say he played good when teamed with Edler. When he and Pouliot were together it wasn 't so good. Look at Myers, it's the same there. Put Myers with Pouliot and $&!# happens... Myers cost 6 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
