Are you a child? That was a response one receives after joining 3 days ago to claim Hughes has looked worse than shaky. No I am not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I am not. You can fanboy like crazy about him, I was just being realistic. Rathbone has looked better overall, and in MY opinion Hughes would be better served with another year of development. I know that’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t think it’s worthy of you getting your panties in a knot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're basing a players level off of one shinny prospects game then I guess Palmu and DiPietro should be in the nhl next season. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched his interview and heard the opposite. His goal is to make the NHL but he said he'd do what management wants. Up until then, I thought great. Following that, he added if he doesn't make it the the NHL, he would like to go back to Michigan. This then made me realize his personal preference is to go back to Michigan but at the end of the day, he is a pro and will do what the team will think is best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say today Palmu is more seasoned and NHL ready, and if he performs in the AHL might see some time in the show. Unfortunately for Quinn his decision has to be made imminently, so this game is a valuable indicator of he’s ready or not unless they’re going to let him work it out in the A. All I said was I think he would be well suited with another year in the NCAA. Sue me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will soon be six teams wondering how they could be so stupid to pass over Hughes.

Sue me. im not going to debate whether he should make the team already, but claiming this game is a valuable indicator is kinda far fetched. Did you see him play with star NHLers at the world Championships where he did not look out of place? I bet they are weighing those games a little more heavily than a shinny game where a bunch of guys he played with couldnt handle his passes. in the end ill trust whatever decision they make. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do like Hughes chances to have bigger successes at the NHL level ahead of any of the 5 guys drafted from 2-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a fast, skilled, and physical Canucks team with Petterson and Hughes joining the corps is just too great. I think this team will make some noise and make life hell for other teams. OK... please don't let me down by declaring Hughes is gonna make the team and it doesn't happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t think it’s worthy of you getting your panties in a knot. What would Quinn gain with another year in college? Will he grow more inches as a 19 year old? Unlikely. Would he get more points? Probably, but due to being more familiar with his line mates not because he became more talented all of a sudden. Instead of wasting a year getting him more acquainted with his Michigan teammates why not spend that year getting him more framiliar with Pettersson and Boeser? He will gain some more weight, but wouldn’t it be better if he was with the Canucks so they can closely monitor that? We don’t want him “bulking up” we want him to grow into his body naturally, but in all honesty I think what you see is what you’ll probably get. I don’t think he’ll get any heavier than 180/185. Answer me, why do other good teams get to paly their players right out of the draft and have successful seasons, but the Canucks aren’t allowed to? Dinosaur thinking. Kids are proving they’re able to play in the NHL more and more all the time. I say sign Quinn Hughes and give him a chance to show us what he can do. The difference between Hughes and Rathbone is Hughes was playing against men last year and Rathbone was playing in high school.
