I love that you acknowledge that this would be the first. Maybe Hughes will develop the defensive aspect of his game. If not, they don't need to give him the massive contract you're so worried about. There's a lot more that goes into contract negotiations than points, especially now days with all the analytics so it's not just about a guy's reputation as a defensive player, there are loose objective measures.

DefCon1 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Arrow 1983 said: some times it takes crazy to see what others do not or can not I think if you were the GM you would've traded Horvat before he got this good and traded Petersson earlier this season. Heck you would have traded Markstrom 5 years ago when he was not looking like a number 1 goalie. Sorry but your takes are as good as the toilet paper I use when I take a dump. There is no sense in your thread because you can't see the big picture. Hughes can't carry a team that is unmotivated and lacks passion, not even Gretzky can help this team win. We have more problems than Hughes, to the point that you will seen Green, Benning all fired and some trades happen before any concerns are shown towards Hughes. In fact I will go as far as saying that Hughes is the number 1 untouchable player on this team, even more so than Pettersson. You want to know why? He has more points than anyone on our team playing as a DEFENSEMAN. So there is no way he will be traded, in fact he would be converted to wing before we even think about trading Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s leading all Dmen in the league in points... and currently tied for 4th among all skaters! It’s also his second season, come on man this is the worst take I’ve ever heard. Yes he’s had defensive lapses this year but the entire team has been incredibly bad and you’re talking about trading one of the best young talents to ever enter the Canucks organization? Hughes isn’t the problem. Lol this is a new low for this fan forum. The funny thing is we have almost 30 million dollar wasted cap space, yet these trolls post threads regarding a 21 year old defenseman struggling in his zone but still being number 1 in terms of points by defenseman, knowing full well that he is being paired with a fringe number 6 D man in Benn. When we have Benn, Chatfield, Edler the experience veteran and Myers playing awful D, there is no reason to rag on our elite young D man that has not been the same since the departure of Tanev. These same trolls would be the very first people to come back and say Benning made the biggest mistake in franchise history if Hughes was to be traded. I don't take these arm chair GMs that troll on these boards seriously because they lack hockey knowledge. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is young and you expect Hughes to be some sort of Lidstrom defenseman with 16 points in 14 games and great defensive abilities while also being physical and also make saves too. If we had that type of defender in Hughes, then he would be the best player in the NHL compared Bobby Orr in his prime. I know it sucks that his defensive skills aren't as good as Lidstrom. Look at some of the number 1 overall picks that has been drafted. Where is Hischier? Dahlin? How come you don't rag about Lafrennier? where is Kakko? I dont have any concerns regarding Hughes because I know he is elite, his offense is still a great contribution to the team and I will be patient with Hughes until he gets out of this funk. I don't expect him to be Lidstrom like in defense but I know he is better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact Hughes played better in todays game and we have a lot worst players than Hughes.

Hughes is suppose to be the #1 the QB why does he need the protection he is the play driver if he is #1 I do not see him as a true number 1 I see him as an elite offensive defenseman I see #1 defensemen, as a player who is elite/very strong both offensively and defensively now someone else may disagree with my definition Tanev was the Ying to Hughes Yang Tanev is gone and we have not found that replacement That is not on Hughes Hughes is 20 years old..........relax on him, the team has plenty of problems Pretty much everyone of them was created by Benning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Sorry you don't trade away a superstar like Hughes..Last time i checked he was leading all D men in points? Sorry you can't blame Hughes for the way this team is playing..There a 5 man unit and team is not playing close to there potential.. look at Schmidt, you don't even notice him so explain that? Schmidt was top minute guy for Vegas last season... Tanev not being here is not the problem...All experts would not of signed Tanev to 4 yrs X 4 million at 31 yrs old... There 12 forwards and 6 D men - 1 goalie --- Nobody played good... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Very stupid thread, ask any hockey guy Hughes is not there problem, yes he could be better in his own zone but that is everyone wearing a blue uniform playing poor defensive coverage..... Taffoli and Leivo are players I wish we would of kept... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
