He isn’t at his max skating ability at 170. if he makes his core/lower body and legs stronger he’s going to be faster than he is. A guy his height would be really effective around 180. Point being. Get bigger and stronger in the areas that will make you faster. As he does that he can less gradually get bigger in his upper body that way most of the weight he gains will be to become a lot faster(skating/balance) and only a bit more stronger(shooting/checking) Quinn knows his body though and with parents like his and an NHL training staff he’ll definitely find the right method of improving his overall physical capabilities while not hindering any one of his attributes that make him great. Yeah, I don't think there's much chance he will be just doing bench presses and bicep curls like some kid trying to impress the ladies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrwipeout Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 30 points after 41 GP is seriously impressive. From the few games at the end of last season i thought he might get some problems adapting in the defensive zone and sure he needs to improve in that area. However his offense is through the roof. Hes definetly elite when it comes to carrying the puck as well as his passing plays. After midseason he has been ok in the defensive zone as well and this kid is gonna get better and better year after year. hes been so good he should definetly be in the All-star lineup imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaramel MacKhiato Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Already ranked as the #2 player to come out of the 2018 draft, with only Dahlin in front of him. A home run. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot to do with genetics, that determine athleticism, nerve impulses/rates, twitch/muscle fiber types and firing patterns. So you are somewhat limited with what God gave you, but definitely can train to be more explosive and use technique for more power in strides, etc. I'd really hate him to focus too much on changing anything....just keep doing what he does. He's so elusive that extra speed isn't really something that he's in dire need of...his skill takes care of business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I know this will 'set-off' a portion of CDC who think this kid is invincible, but I'm wondering if the coaching staff will begin to more finely tune Hughes' overall time on ice per game now that we've reached this part of the season. It was painfully obvious that both BB and EP suffered from varying degrees of fatigue in the late stages of their rookie seasons and if we're truly in a dog-fight for the playoffs in a couple months, it would be nice to have Hughes 100% healthy and as fresh as is possibly expected for his first full pro-season. Yes, I know it's a balancing act, play him more now for a better chance of making the playoffs vs. saving him for the stretch drive/possible playoffs but I hope management/coaching staff learned from how clearly EP and BB tailed off in their rookie seasons - yes, they suffered from increased scouting/checking from their opponents in the 2nd half of the season, but even considering this, imo they were both clearly fatigued and showing it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Quinn might have a higher motor than both Ep40 and BB. His in game stamina is excellent. He may not need the same attention. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how you rank him really. A case could be made he's better than Dahlin, but there's also plausibly a case that Svechnikov might end up better.

Almost feels a bit like Crosby and Ovechkin of 2005-06 (not quite) with two insane offensive defensemen having unbelievable rookie years in the same season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green said himself, with Quinn's effortless skating technique, he's able to skate miles without really exhausting himself. I believe he has a lot more stored reserves than Petterson or Brock so he should be fine as the season veers towards the playoff season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
