Gotta be atleast Top 5 in the League right? I'd think so, but I'd have to have a closer look at a few other teams pools. There aren't many teams that have a blue chip top line centre prospect, #1 D prospect, and #1 Goaltender prospect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have filled a lot of important core spots on Cup winning teams: Elite goalie - Demko Elite point producing center - Pettersson Elite scoring winger - Boeser Elite checking center - Bo Elite D man - Hughes Plus, we have a lot of other young guys, who will fill other roles: JV, Gadjovic, Lind, Woo, Gaudette, etc. All Canuck's fans should be preparing for a couple or more Stanley Cup parades along Georgia over the next decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Looking like Quinn Hughes might actually turn pro! He is AHL eligible and would be a huge boost for Utica even if he doesn't make the Canucks. Still can play in the world Juniors to boot this year. He is very similar in skating and size to Samuel Girard and it shows how a smaller but elite skating d man can be NHL ready very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means they no longer think he is a 1st pair guy. More of a #3 on the 2nd pair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn is probably even faster than Will Butcher (NJ) who just had a great rookie season as an undersized D., and Quinn is and even better passer. I am thinking he is going to blow us away with his hockey smarts and his last coach referencing Bobby Orr in regards to Hughes...may just be right on. It could well end up a battle between 2 team mates and Dahlin for the Calder ...wouldn't that be something....3 Calder candidates in 2 years if it happened....! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just very good rounded game. ahh thank god I am back. had to create a new account after my cousin who flew down from Calgary for a wedding.. Used my account to troll and bash a bunch of people Luckily I was planning on leaving telus for shaw and now with my new ip was able to get the hell back here and away from that toxic site known as HF. Anyway. This random site I found through google after typing who has the best prospect pool? I found this article. The guy and his Brothers he claims are scouts. He does the Dub his bros are in Scandinavia. I deleted my last post which had a lot more of what he said by mistake, so I will just cover a bit of what he said. First he said after this draft we now have the best in the League. He said woo was a ppg player before he got hurt, who ranked 16th at the midterm rankings. Bouchard was 36th. He said Woo may have slipped in to the to 10 if he didn't get hurt. He went on about Woo foe awhile gushing over him like he was his Father lol. He hates Bouchard thinks he is gonna be huge bust. Also said the Fin we drafted according to his brother has the potential to be better Heiskanen. He said pressure to stay in Finland over the NHL is why he dropped and Salo knew that it would be resolved. Here are the rankings I can remember. EP40 A++ Hughes A++ OJA Dhalen A Lind B Jasek B Demko-A+ Take everything with a grain of salt. But5 he seemed pretty sincere. Oh ya and Woo he has A+ Cheers Edit like me and Zepp had said before. There had to be a reason OJ didn't make the worlds. Turns out that was around the time he tweaked his back which led to the further injury that we are all hearing about now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also great at defending the rush. The challenge will be when the puck gets hemmed in his zone. 2 things I notice is that even in NCAA, he doesn't really push the forward away from the net. This could be a problem with bigger stronger NHL forwards that will camp out in front of the crease banging at rebounds. I expect he will initially be responsible for some goals against and wonder how he will adjust to that. 2nd thing is that when forwards shield the puck, he doesn't really have any options. He will need to wait until the forwards spin off and make a move towards the net and expose the puck but until that happens, there really won't be a chance to win the puck back. Quinn is a smart player and I'm sure he will look at guys like Stech and the smaller successful dmen like Rafalski to see how they defend. I noticed he never really had to push the forwards away. His speed and ability to read the play allowed him to have the puck many times when it looked like he had no Business getting it. My fav quote "if a defenseman has to clear the front of the net , He has already failed to do 90% of his job." All the plays Hughes ends up with the puck ,breaking up a zone entry etc are opportunities the other team failed at exposing his size. my bet is his talent out weigh the times a large forward is in his crease. Maybe that's where Guddy will come in. Let Hughes go get the puck while Guddy stays home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Montreal is saying that Jordan Subban is 'elite' after signing him. I guess 'elite' is generic or in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the east coast will work out better for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
