    quite possibly the worst gif of all time 

    I just watched jack Rathbones highlights from the Harvard twitter and they have super HD crystal clear video and then there's this.

    it was heavily implied when benning was asked if there were other players he had ranked higher. 

    I vaguely remember what you’re talking about but what I took it to mean was that the two players were rated closely. I believe the canucks separate forwards and defenseman and work off of at least two ranking lists. So if they were really high on hayton, at max, they would have had him ranked #2 on the forwards list (I don’t think anyone would dispute svechnikov was the best forward). I believe it’s safe to assume that Quinn was also ranked 2 on the defenseman list. Given that team need gives the edge to drafting a defenseman and the fact that top pair defensemen are harder to acquire, I don’t see how the canucks would have taken hayton over Hughes if they were both available. 

     

    I do believe they would have taken hayton over zadina if it played out that way, however.

    Isnt Jack Hughes on the smallerish size compared to EP? I would think EP would have the better chance to be a C in the NHL vs the undersized Hughes, no?

    Hughes speed belongs in the middle. We know Elias can put up numbers at wing. If those two ended up on the same team jack would play center.

    Interesting that despite how strong he is he's just "NHL average" in size at 6'1 205.  But if he's mobile and can process the game, he's already got the aggressiveness and physicality to be a young Gudbranson.  Manages to stay in the SHL with essentially no offensive output, so there must be something there.

    its funny logic but that's what makes this guy an anomaly.  how do you stay in a pro league while apparently adding nothing offensively?  I'm interested to see if he is advanced enough everywhere else to stick around in NA.
