Your hyperbole regarding the comments on here is a bit ridiculous actually. If you have a problem with fans, on a fan site, showing hope and cautious optimism about a prospect when they hear some good news about them, you probably should find a new hobby. I'm curious what his handle on HF is? He posts here like the truly toxic negative nellys do over there. Will never understand the appeal of being that way.

Guest Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hugo's making his Allsvenskan debut tomorrow! Hoping he gets some ice time as he might be a 7th dman, but this is pretty solid sign for a Draft +1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When some people are really unhappy with their pathetic lives, they try to make others lives miserable too. You know, "misery loves company"? Trolls like Fred probably fall into that category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Looking like Hugo might possibly be a diamond in the rough, good late pick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the Canucks have scouts living over there who can follow closely the league and the players, daily. I accept there recommendation but there's a lot of ice between a 17-18 old and the NHL. The stats show only 65% of 1st round picks make it, 20% of second round picks and becomes less the further into the draft you go. It cost teams very little to simply monitor NCAA, CHL and EU players, so it's a low risk gamble and one worth taking. Rathbone was a good gamble keeping in mind that Brackett used to coach him during the summer months, so he had a close relationship with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view has been confirmed. Now what surpised me was the fans who couldn't see the kids lack of abilities.

Anyone saying the kid wasn't a legit pick when we drafted him was and is out to lunch. Dominant at the world juniors that year made his ranking go from the teens to a top 5 pick. Good on you though for being right about the current state of the player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
