[Papa Francouz]

I'll take either one with Sens pick

Absolutely!

 

[Balthazar]

How was the other Hughes (Quinton) throughout the tournament?

 

[UncleRisto]

How was the other Hughes (Quinton) throughout the tournament?

Real good for this level, both times I saw him.

 

[avsfan09]

Finland is going to bring in so much talent to the NHL over the next few years.

How was the other Hughes (Quinton) throughout the tournament?

I thought he was amazing , but i know jack sh!t

 

[Metallo]

I thought Kakko and Hughes would be more dominant in this tournament. I’m not sure they will be impact players 10 months from now.

Kakko is ready, he's already making some beast plays against men(physically) and doesn't have a major weakness to his game. Very different player versus Laine.

PK, defending the lead with a minute left and of course scored the golden goal. That's making an impact.

 

[UncleRisto]

Hughes also showed some great skills with the puck. He'll be able to step in.

Next season? Dude...

 

[UncleRisto]

Next season? Dude...

Most likely. He'll be given every chance for it.

 

[BleedWell]

Most likely. He'll be given every chance for it.

Not likely.
He's not ready for NHL hockey next season.

 

[UncleRisto]

Not likely.
He's not ready for NHL hockey next season.

Whatever you say, guy.

I meant making an impact at the NHL level, like having a 50-60 pts season.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, probably another year away from that, if things go to plan.

 

[Gurglesons]

If COL gets the 2nd overall do you think they take Kakko or deal it for D or Center help?

 

[UncleRisto]

If COL gets the 2nd overall do you think they take Kakko or deal it for D or Center help?

Kakko.

 

[UncleRisto]

This is just insane.

 

[BleedWell]

Whatever you say, guy.

Just my opinion. But I'm pretty sure about it. We'll see...

 

[MonsterMack]

This is just insane.

What are they putting in their ketchup?

 

[Metallo]

Yeah, probably another year away from that, if things go to plan.

Do you think Kakko should play in the NHL next year as he’s physically mature? What about Hughes?

 

[LOFIN]

What are they putting in their ketchup?

Nothing, we just quit our stupid "every one should play" programme and started to actually paying attention to individuals and their development.

 

[BB88]

I meant making an impact at the NHL level, like having a 50-60 pts season.

The answer is still the same.

Of course linemates plays a part with that, Kakko is going to be a puck protection beast.

 

[BleedWell]

Do you think Kakko should play in the NHL next year as he’s physically mature? What about Hughes?

Kakko will play in the NHL next season, Hughes probably not.

 

[UncleRisto]

Do you think Kakko should play in the NHL next year as he’s physically mature? What about Hughes?

I'm not the one to ask in all honesty. Camp will show.

 

[Foppberg]

Do you think Kakko should play in the NHL next year as he’s physically mature? What about Hughes?

Hughes yes, doubt Kakko will.
