My thoughts, too. To put it politely: he seems to fancy himself quite a bit...Jack Hughes looks like a teen pop idol.
He committed to Michigan a couple of weeks ago. Might as well be his own...Looks like baby brother Luke stole Quinn's Michigan shirt.![]()
seemed like a normal kid to me...gunna be a hell of a playerMy thoughts, too. To put it politely: he seems to fancy himself quite a bit...
It sticks out to me that Quinn isn't much bigger than his little brother, who's got to be like... 14?Just for entertainment:
I just find his excuse that he couldn't train for it a bit hollow. The kid spent a year at a university with a world class weight room and played a lesser schedule than players in Junior. Yeah, he was at the Worlds, but he could have put work in during the last off-season and during the regular season. He had pretty much a full month between the Frozen Four and the Worlds.
Its minor at the end of the day, but people do like to see the competitiveness of guys. For example, Dobson who only had 3 days between the end of the Memorial Cup and the start of the NHL combine fully participated.
There is no doubt in my mind that Dobson, for all his achievements last season, will be the #2 D selected.
As much as Hugues played a short stint against men, over 100 games played by Dobson always facing off the best opponents' forwards and winning the Memorial Cup being the best D on the ice should tell something to scouts and GMs....
I don't know much of Dahlin , but he's got to be a hell of a player to be ahead of Dobson.

But it is not as much as 100 + games and travelling.and Hughes was one of the best players in college hockey despite being the youngest. What Hughes did this season (against older, faster, more physically developed players) was also unreal.

First thing he says is he's accomplished nothing yet and you landed on this?
They all seem like really good, normal kids to me. How you watch that and come away able to criticize their personality is a little odd.
Hughes was NO WHERE near one of the best NCAA players last season.and Hughes was one of the best players in college hockey despite being the youngest. What Hughes did this season (against older, faster, more physically developed players) was also unreal.
Both Quinn and Luke look anemic and sickly compared to Jack tbhIt sticks out to me that Quinn isn't much bigger than his little brother, who's got to be like... 14?
That pairing would be intriguing, to say the least. Or did you just mean that Weber would be the perfect mentor for Hughes as a teammate on the Habs' defense?I think he's a real option at 3 for the Habs. LD is our top need after C, he's NHL ready, and we have the perfect guy for him to develop with in Weber.
I used Bobby Mac's consensus draft list of Hughes dropping from #6 to #9. His is the only compiled list I would trust if one wants to see how scouts opinions are trending. Close. FYI I have him ranked a lot higher if he drops to #10
If we drafted Hughes, I imagine we'd tie him to Webers hip.That pairing would be intriguing, to say the least. Or did you just mean that Weber would be the perfect mentor for Hughes as a teammate on the Habs' defense?

What's with the passive-aggressive commentary? If you've got specific criticisms of the kid's play, attitude, whatever, let's hear them - in the Jack Hughes thread.I heard/read this sentence at least five times from him now... stock response? And I am not criticizing THEIR personality. I just think Jack's body language isn't the best here.
I'd argue he was. Certainly amongst rookies.Hughes was NO WHERE near one of the best NCAA players last season.
