MattJVD Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 4 hours ago, DownUndaCanuck said: Hughes still obviously has a long way to go defensively and it'd be nice to find him a solid two-way defender who's primarily a shutdown guy to play with going forward down the line, but of course it's nice to see Quinn rack up points. He might realistically hit 60 points if he's healthy all season which will be monstrous considering he's maybe our 3rd best defenceman. He's our best defenceman overall, but yes he does have some growning to do in the corners and infront of our net in the D zone. I'd say he is our best defender against rush plays though, he is great with his stick and his skating allows him to get in a position to stick check without taking a penalty. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn is a phenom. 60 plus points, and he’s leading us to the playoffs too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Remember Pittsburg game. Even though the team lost, that was the game when Quinn Hughes announced to the league that he is world class offensive star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Makar, but honestly, if Quinn was on the Avs playing with Mac all game long, he would be the scoring leader among all rookies right now. I would argue that Quinn drives the play on this team more than any other player (Petey included). Makar does it sometimes, but reality is that Mac drives the play on that team. I really hope Quinn keeps it up and wins the Calder this year. He deserves it more than Makar IMO. Makar is an elite talent as is Hughes. I won't dump on Makar to try and prop up Hughes as being better. But I do hope Hughes continues to battle and get better and end up winning the Calder. Makar is an elite D man though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Quinn Hughes has been more impressive than both Boeser and EP were as rookies in my opinion. BB and EP were great, but Hughes on pace for 70 points as a rookie Dman, while playing a ton of minutes against tough competition. He may not win the Calder, Makar has been even better than Hughes so far, but both are having rookie seasons for the ages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I didn't think this could be possible, but it's true. Quinn has a ton of developing left ahead of him, but his dynamism at his position is unparalleled in the history of this organization. I literally jumped for joy when I realized we'd be picking Q. Hughes that draft year. He is proving game after game what myself, and many other Canucks fans were gleefully visualizing at that moment his name was called. I just don't think anybody would have guessed it would happen this early. At his size and age, playing such a prominent role. Simply incredible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that after Christmas and down the stretch, teams start tightening up their game and play a lot harder. Both Boes and Petey started to fall off during this timeframe and had injuries as well. It's expecting a lot for Quinn to continue on this pace for 82 games when he has hardly played more than 40 games a season in his life. Quinn is definitely an elite player, but he is young, inexperienced and still has a boy's frame. He is will put up extremely impressive #s this season, but even more impressive is that he will do it while playing a solid defensive game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -AJ- Posted December 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2019 I've seen a few of this guy's videos and I'm starting to really like his analysis. He did a great in-depth analysis on Hughes in one game. For those who don't like advanced stats and prefer the eye-test, videos like this are where the two meet in a beautiful combination: 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still holding my breath, as many players slow down later on in the year, but even hitting 50 points would be incredible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
