Hogs & Podz Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Great read! Moral of the story... Take BPA! Interesting that Quinn was tested out by Arizona that draft year and are now in trouble for it. Finally the canucks have good drafting karma (maybe something to do with management as well lol!). I think we'll be able to put Podz into this story in the not to distant future as well. It can't be understated that the 17-18 & 19 drafts have had us not just take the bpa but also fulfills our position of need. Perfect storm! GCG!!!

Qwags Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It's nice the Quinn Hughes has evolved into a stay at home D-man. Willie D would be proud. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you think that Brock would not agree that it's easier for Canucks players to get points with JT and Quinn in the lineup? Not sure why you would think that, and I'm quite sure those words didn't come from Brock's mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo0921 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 There is little doubt Quinn has ushered in a new era of defencemen in Vancouver. He's fast, shifty, and has the ability to electrify from the blueline. He is prone to mistakes but, given his hockey smarts, I have all the confidence in the world that he will become an all round defender as he matures his game. Though small in stature, Quinn Hughes has not shown any signs of being intimidated and has no hesitations in his game, making even the best forwards look foolish. He is not a physical defender but that's not why he was drafted so I have no disappointment in this. It amazes me that, in one season, he has become our, undisputed, #1 defender. He is an amazing young man and I am so happy he's a Canuck. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't agree with Quinn that having an extra couple of extremely skilled players on the team makes it easier to score, I guess you are entitled to your opinion. But I agree with Quinn. And so do the stats. The team increase from 2.67 goals per game last season to 3.25 this season would be a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying Pettersson wasn't that alone in his Calder season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Grasse is greener Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Button projects the national team rosters for 2022, Canada and USA. Puts Hughes on the second pairing with Seth Jones. Really interested to see those two in action, if it actually happens. https://www.tsn.ca/olympics/video/button-takes-an-early-look-at-team-canada-if-nhlers-attend-2022-olympics~1945900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
