Prospect Info: Luke Hughes - part III

[DevilsHughes86]

Great news, as expected. Hopefully he plays this week, perhaps Tuesday night against the Sabres

 

[TBF1972]

Bummed they're not doing full first and last names on the jersey.

i want JACK and LUKE. everybody here calls them anyway like this

 

[TrufleShufle]

Thank god they’re not doing initials.

Yea with the size and number, It's easier to confuse Haula for Jack than it will be Luke.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Ok - what is this Brady Perm stuff?

Where’s the throwing up into a garbage can while he signs photoshop?

I'm not exactly sure how it's possible to make this mistake...but I thought Bahl was Jack on a few occasions this year..

What kind of world do we live in where there can be two hockey players on the same team with numbers in 80's?

We're going to hell in a handbasket.

[Whaddagoal]

Are they doing the name plate with first intial... Or we doing Hughes - Hughes.

Just Hughes

 

[Lou is God]

What are the odds he plays tonight

 

[Nubmer6]

What are the odds he plays tonight

I think somewhere between zero and none.

[Blender]

He shouldn't play tonight and there were reports he was feeling ill the other day anyways.

 

[Hisch13r]

It’s beautiful

 

[OmNomNom]

Just jack treatment Luke, it's not that hard

Have him tough it out for a season as he adjusts to speed. Would having him on bottom pairing really be that bad?

 

[Ripshot 43]

It’s beautiful

Hey Bro… remember when we used to do this on rollerblades in front of our house?

 

[Billdo]

You know what's going to to be cool? Having next years OT options as Hughes-Bratt-Hughes and Hischier-Mercer-Hamilton

Bahl being able to handle a top 4 role would really go a long way. I’ve mentioned Bahl replacing Graves and Luke replacing Sevo. You’re probably losing some value there for next year but they’re only going to get better and could probably do an adequate enough job

Timo?

Size difference is pretty stark. Why is the "little brother" always the biggest?

Timo?

Yeah I’d go Hischier-Timo-Hamilton

 

[Clam Jensen]

I think next season they should just put all 5 players in the crease for 60 minutes and just deploy Luke/Jack/the garbage can in OT, and go 82-0 with a +82 goal dif.

Luke can't replace Severson...long term perhaps but in the short term, it would be absolutely foolish if not straight out stupid to use Luke as a RHD with his current level of defensive ability.

I’m not saying you toss him at RD. I don’t give a shit about him replacing him as the 3RD. You’re looking at him to replace Sevo’s impact. Go find a 3RD for a 1-2 year deal and Smith is your 7

 

[RSeen]

So Luke's cap hit can only be a max of $1.85M? Nemec's AAV is $4.2M so that is quite a difference and could be helpful over the next two years if he is taking 2.35M less than he could have.
