taskicon Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 When does this season start? I don't want to wish Summer to be over but I really want to watch Hughes and Pettersson together 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Specz Posted June 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2018 Holy crap I've been lurking in these boards for years and I finally made an account because of this draft pick. Great pick by JB. This guy was #3 on my list behind Svech and I literally jumped out of my seat at work when I heard JB call his name. (WATCH HIS SHIFT BY SHIFT in the IIHF World Championships if you don't believe me. He literally makes opposing MEN "spin out" trying to catch him around corners because of his speed. I am not exaggerating they literally spin out...) Kid will be a superstar guys, I haven't been this excited for the Canucks since 2010 and I am 100% behind this new Vancouver Canucks. Only a few small pieces left missing guys but I believe we will see the strongest iteration of the Canucks in franchise history very soon and I CANNOT wait. GO CANUCKS GO!

The next Patrick Kane. Crosby, Ovie, McDavid, Dahlen is my definition. Guess little Hughes is the kinda player the hockey gods need to gift us.

I held this poll last night. Ran it for 24 hours Also this one: Make that what you will. Not a ton of votes on poll #2 but an ok number. Was tied 33% across the board at one point.

old guy Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I think that if you kept the skill-set of Dahlin and Hughes the same but exchanged the height and weight then Hughes would have been the consensus number 1 overall. The kid is that good! The size of the players is what controlled people's assessments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get Hughes, I'll be happy with Kaako as well. That is so not happening 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HomeBrew Posted June 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2018 I was REALLY hoping we were going to draft him! So excited to have this kid on our team! He will basically change the entire dynamic of the team with how he plays. Here's a good Habs pre-draft article considering Hughes at #3: https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/nhl-entry-draft-picks-2018/2018/6/21/17441724/quinn-hughes-third-overall-montreal-canadiens-entry-draft-target-profile-stats-rankings-scouting “Hughes’ track record this season has been nothing but spectacular.” - [Winging It In Motown] “He is one of the most naturally talented players in the draft and has all the makings of a high-end puck-moving NHL defenceman.” - [Mile High Hockey] “In terms of talent, Hughes is one of the most elite upside players in this draft” [Canes Country] “He’s the quintessential puck-moving defenceman who can push the defense back with his skating prowess alone.” [Broad Street Hockey] 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they are they will have very little chance of winning first overall. I’d argue we will be. We are in an incredibly tough division. We are very young and lots to learn yet. Boeser will have a lot more focus on him especially now that the Sedins are gone. We likely won’t replace that offense this year. Our goaltending is still sub par. Defense is a work in progress. 2019-20 is our year to start the accension. Joelevi, HUGHES, petterson, demkoand the next HUGHES hopefully all starting their nhl careers that year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksNation18 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Newbie here and long time lurker . Huge Quinn Hughes fan, didn't expect for him to fall to us at #7. Really excited about him.

Shiftynifty Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 My 2nd favourite player in the draft after Tkachuk. Not disappointed at all we couldn’t get Tkachuk, Hughes is such a fantastic pick (had him as our 1st choice in the CDC consensus). Sens got a 60-point do-everything winger while we got arguably the smoothest skater in the whole draft. So excited! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Need to trade Hutton now for sure. Leave some room for some of our LD to step in. Sautner, McEneny, Hughes, Brisebois, Pouliot, Juolevi etc Next year I think Hughes is back in the NCAA or Utica but he looks close to being NHL ready. Next year Edler-Stetcher Pouliot-Tanev Del Zotto-Guddy Juolevi-Biega McEneny-Sautner 2019-20 Juolevi-Stetcher Pouliot-Guddy Hughes-Tanev(or UFA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 On 2018-06-23 at 8:06 AM, naslundfan921 said: Excited to have two blue-chip smart D Men in the system now. Heard Hughes say he could play either side so maybe one they form an elite top pairing for us. Camp will be interesting with these two pushing for spots as well. I am more conservative in my expectations though so I don't expect all of our kids to come up at once. I think gifting them spots is bad for their long-term development. Of our pool, I will predict only Gaudette and EP will crack the opening day roster with OJ initially being sent down but quickly returning when the inevitable injury hits and becoming a regular Woo is another blue chip guy. Many expected him to go in the late first round. He will be a great top 4 RHD. Him paired with either Quinn or OJ looks very good in the future. Utunen is a darkhorse guy. He and Rathbone could surprise in a few years. Anyway we slice it, our defence prospect pool has improved by leaps and bounds. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
