Funny thing I think him and Hughes will end up being the 2 most exciting D,s in the draft. I was hop[ing for Hughes. Just never imagined he would fall to us. If he gets a little bigger and starts to win more board battles Hughes is going to be a D that kids growing up model their game after. The way he can angle a player off and strip the puck is amazing. Bovqist im not sure how he will end up on D> He is for sure an adventure. One scout wrote in the Hockey news before the draft that if s team gets all of Adam to watch out. But he isn't sure if that will ever happen. I would have been fine with Smith over Dobson or especially Bouchard. We need that jump out of your seat type of guy. Who we def got in Q. Anyone who thinks poorly of Adam is like Rob_Zepp said is a plastic fan. Boqvist's ceiling is incredibly high, just like Hughes. It's why I was so high on him personally. He's not tiny, but not big either. The more I learn about Hughes the more I like him too. Good character, smart, just as high a ceiling as Boqvist. I dunno. I was going to be a kid on Christmas no matter who we drafted in the top 10 at the draft. So many exciting names and players. I'd have to find reasons to not be happy with anyone that could have been selected in the top 10. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked Boqvist as well.... but at the WJSS, the difference between him and Hughes is night and day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Quinn has the "Will to win" mentality that you absolutely need to win the Cup.... I think he has substantially more of that than any other player taken in the draft....period,. Skill aside...we got the "Man"...! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn is almost a full year older than Adam and (at the moment) Boqvist is severely undersized. His brother is 6' now, so hopefully he will inherit the same physique. Similar players with great speed and IQ, but that shot of Boqvist's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our last two top picks (Pettersson and Hughes) both have that “it” factor. Clearly the two best players in their draft classes, because of “it” too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team we will see in 1 and a bit years will have 2 players with magic and grit as well as pure winners in Gaudette, Dahlen, Bo, Oli and Demko.... That is a playoff team ....and one that will strike fear into opposing goaltenders hearts....! This must be worth a.... ....Just watch...! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes is like 10 months older no? May seem insignificant but it's something. Boqvist turns 18 in 2 days. Hughes turns 19 in October. I am not one to make my end all be all judgement over one event either. More of a big picture guy. All I am saying is the sky is the limit for all these kids and I would not have been unhappy if Benning selected Boqvist or Bouchard or Dobson. It's okay to be super excited about Hughes without degrading other prospects. Edited August 13, 2018 by N7Nucks 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked boqvist pre draft and was hoping the canucks would get him. And then Hughes fell. (thank you mtl and Arizona) I am curious how boqvist will do as he was who I had originally wanted.

He didnt look good at the summer showcase. Im glad they didnt take Noah Dobson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Even only like 6 weeks post entry draft and in a redraft, Hughes goes higher, he looks like 3rd best player or 2nd in the draft 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
