CrippledCanuck Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 What he currently lacks in size he more than compensates with IQ and skills, plus he is not even 19 years old, still has time to grow into more height and weight. Great draft pick, look forward to seeing him playing for canucks in the near future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 He's really not THAT small. And he will grow. In a league that is moving towards skill over bulk, I think this kid will absolutely LIGHT IT UP. Just what the Dr. ordered. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just my game #canucks Quote His edge control is so vastly superior to most of his peers that he is able to quickly turn or pivot and end up two or three strides ahead of a pressuring attacker. This is what separates him defensively from a guy like Bouchard. If under pressure he takes a quick turn or couple strides and he can lose his forechecker then lead the counter-attack, as opposed to having to either ring it around the boards, dump it out, or eat it and take a hit then engage in a board battle. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gator Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2018 I'll be honest I wanted Zadina or Boqvist.. but when you come to CDC and posts are this positive, I tend to believe I was wrong. Hughes u must be special, i don't think anyone has had such a positive start to his CDC thread haha 1 4 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.V.'s slurp Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I love the concern over his size. Maybe if he was 3 inches shorter and named Subban, people would want to give him a chance. This kid is gonna help the transition game so much!! Can play either side, can walk the line, make the home run pass!! Stoked on getting him!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 46 minutes ago, Hutton Wink said: For a more recent comparison: Don't think I've seen a D skater like Quinn Hughes since Paul Coffey. Sure some like Bartkowski can skate well, but Hughes has the high hockey IQ and creativity to not only put up points but control the game. We've never actually had a dman like that. Ever. Paul Reinhart. Sadly, with a trick back, at the end of his career. He was Calgary’s answer to Paul Coffey when Calgary was a near great team. We got to see him for two seasons in Vancouver - sadly, no team to put around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
