It's not about the team right now, especially since we're stilll rebuilding. It's about what's best for the player. Michigan is a top development program in league that's been producing top talent lately. We shouldn't spoil that because we want a shiny new toy. I completely agree. But I think in this case he looks "almost" if not NHL ready... he's already been on the US men's roster to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never had a player that we drafted that could start in the NHL the same fall since ever. It doesn't always happen, I would like you to name one player that we drafted that even had this kind of discussion? When his family thinks that going back to Michigan is "worst" case scenario, I think that tells you a lot on how ready Hughes is to turn pro. I'm not suggesting he plays in Vancouver, I think the best place for him is Utica. Our current Team President comes to mind 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a good time to go pro in Utica or Vancouver. Yeah, hard to see how much further he is going to develop playing against players who are not as good as he is already.

I don't understand why so many people dislike high numbers. I'd say that I remember players' numbers better being higher numbers than lower numbers because that makes their number more unique.

I don't see a problem there. They should just retire his jersey around the league if it's going to be a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieChan Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Quinn needs to go back to NCAA for his second year & Show Jack the ropes for his first year of NCAA. Jack ripped it up in the US under 18 year. Put the 2 together & the will be a lot of Sedin like symmetry with Quinn setting up a dynamic Jack. His numbers should jump from his strong freshman numbers This will help with the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that I remember players' numbers better being higher numbers than lower numbers because that makes their number more unique. For me it is more classy. My perception is the the classic numbers fit into a team environment/mentality. High numbers come across as a statement about individualism. Nothing wrong witht that but it is, in every way, a team sport. Again, just my opion or taste. High numbers are fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 If Hughes wants to make the Canucks he will kick down the door. I think he will. I believe Gadjovich wore #43 in the prospect camp. Pettersson - 14 Hughes - 60 (Granlund's going bye-bye IMO) Juolevi - 4 I can see why they would call Hughes "6", like he's "got their six", being a D and all.

Noble 6 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Who doesn't want to see the Hughes brothers together all year in Michigan and at the World Juniors in Vancouver showcasing their chemistry? Oh yeah, every team except Vancouver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young player has to be smart enough to understand that if they are wearing the number of one of the best players ever, they are going to look like a fool if they cannot perform. Wearing it "cuz he likes it" is a childish notion in a cut throat world. Just my opinion though. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
