No matter how good Dahlin, Svech and Zadina are I fully expect Pettersson, Mittelstadt and Tolvanen to be miles ahead of them with an extra year of development under their belts. Don't forget Heiskanen. I think he'll be turning some heads in the calder race this year. I think he has a chance to beat Dahlin for the best rookie defenseman this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YummyCakeFace Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Let him go to Michigan you fools! He’s only gonna get stronger physically and be more readily available to turn pro at years (college) end. He can join the team at the end of the season like Boeser did. What’s wrong with that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It burns a year of ELC for a few games in the pros. He will get stronger wherever he plays. WIth his brother no longer going to college, I kind of favour the go pro route, will be happy with either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think the opposite. Benning and Co. want to see Hughes play at the Canucks training camp. If Canucks thought he might be college bound they would have told him to sign with Michigan. A lot of decisions will need to be made at camp and a lot of it has to do with how prepared our players are during camp. This is the first time in a long time that we have to depth to force good competition for a lot of spots on the team. Whoever deserves to be on the team will be on the team. Hughes will not be gifted anything but IMO he will sign with Vancouver and spend the season between Utica and Vancouver. Also he will be a big part of Utica winning the Calder Cup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one, in any era, that performed as well as Dahlin did this year As your post has nothing to do with Quinn Hughes, it felt like I should answer your challenge. Here goes: Billy Wright Date Of Birth : 6 February 1924 Nation : England, Caps : 105 Games Height : 180 cm, Position : Center-Back Major Club : Wolvehampton Wanderers World Cup Participation : 1950, 1954, 1958 (10 Games) Club Honours : 3 Times English Top Division, 1 Time FA Cup International Honours : None Individual Achievement : 1952 FWA Footballer Of The Year3 Times European Defender of The Year (1956, 1957, 1958) 1957 Silver Ball European Footballer Of The Year 1959 Order of The British Empire English Football Hall Of Fame Billy Wright is one of the great legends in history of British football, is the best defender in the Europe during the 1950s and perhaps of all-time. He signed as professional at 17 years old and then became the first football player in the world to earn 100 caps. He likely had the best 17-year old season of any player, in any sport in the history of teenagers playing professionally. Wright was a central defender and a captain of England national team through decade of 1950s. He was the most popular player for English’s football fan during his era with his profession and reliability of football playing. Wright was a master of timing both in terms of beating taller players to headers and winning the ball in strong tackles. He also had a remarkable reading of the game, able to break up attackers with almost telepathic interception and launch quick break upfield. He made 541 appearances to Wolvehampton and regarded as club’s greatest player ever, Specialty, A statue of him was erected beside Wolves' Molineux Stadium in memory of him in 1996, three years after the completion of a stand at the stadium named in honour of him. He is rated by many as the second greatest defender of England only to Bobby Moore. Wright also finished 9th and 6th place Ballon'Dor in 1956 and 1958 respectively.

I believe Jim Benning was also pretty impressive as a teenager. 71 points in 71 games in the WHL as a defenseman at just 16 years old... Then at age 17 he had 139 points in just 72 games..... 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
