Is Quinn Hughes overrated?

PP assist with 2 min left in a 5-0 game. He was -2 on the night.

Wow, let it go lol.

Wow, let it go lol.

Yeah, it's pretty cringe.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Hoglander was a bit offside. Was a nice drop pass to Miller.

How are the canucks this bad defensively? It isn’t all Hughes fault they give up 5 per game. This is nuts.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Howd he look tonight? I see a pp point and a -2. Pretty normal boxscore for him.

Points > defense. Seems like the running theme around here.

Dude may win the Art Ross and the worst +/- in the league while his team misses the playoffs. Pretty impressive.

It’s pretty interesting how many people feel they need to slag this kid.

He’s having a rough stretch of games, as are most of his teammates.

We’ve seen him play better defensively before, and I’m sure we will again.

ive been vocal on here lately that his d game has looked awful but thought he played well tonight

Canucks overall team defense is pretty bad. It aint all on Hughes

 

[nowhereman]

Something is dramatically wrong with this year's version of the Vancouver Canucks and it's idiotic to pin it on Hughes, rewriting history to try to make it look as though he's always been this defensively deficient. The entire team is playing some of the worst defense I've seen from an NHL roster.

This thread is filled with awful take after awful take.

No Markstrom, No Tanev, More Myers.

Goaltending is the least of their problems and Schmidt is better than Tanev. It doesn't explain why EP has been neutered, Miller has gone off the rails, Hughes is a tire fire in his own end and the rest of the team doesn't even seem to care about losing. Green will probably be gone by the end of the week.

One of his better games imo. I thought he looked good.

The rest of the Vancouver D core were a tire fire. Chatfield had an awful night.

This thread should honestly be closed.

The discussion has taken place and it’s to the point where people just come to post something if they think he had a bad game.

And Tyler Myers?

 

[HockeyWooot]

The Canucks as a team have been atrocious defensively this year, the problems go way beyond Quinn Hughes.

There’s another three on the main board talking about the Canucks woes this year, first team since the 93 Sens to give GA by such a wide margin.

While he hasn’t been great defensively this year (which he was solid in his rookie season), he’s not at the top of the Canucks problems.

Thread is full of AV Fans ... lol ..

He's overrated in regards to those who said he is going to transform how the position is played, to everyone else I think he's exactly the type of player they thought he'd be and will most likely remain. There's a reason why ~75% of his shifts start in the offensive zone, as any smart coach would do. Can't imagine anyone really complaining about having him on their bench though, he's worth it for the PP production alone. He'll learn how to handle the size difference better but I'm still not throwing him out there against other teams first lines in the playoffs or late minute situations which I don't really see a problem with.

 

[Damisoph]

I feel bad for Hughes, he's on an island back there for Van. Put Makar on this dumpster fire right now and he's not looking nearly as good, but Avs fans can flex, they've got some young studs

The usual. Everything's OK tho because he got another pointless assist down 5 goals

The Avs fans who haven't just started to follow their team know very well how much worse especially a young player can look when he's on a weak and badly coached team. Makar got his Calder, now let's move on and give Hughes some time to calm down, learn and grow.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Of course he is overrated. Even Zadina is defensively much superior player, thank god we picked him.

Precisely.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

What type of contract is he looking at this offseason?

Vancouver fans can't be happy watching him pile up PP points while getting caved on a nightly basis 5 on 5.
