Is it just me or does he have the most unique playstyle in the league?

Furthermore he's only a few games into his NHL career and I don't think there is another defenceman in the league who can so effortlessly create scoring chances from routine plays. Not Dahlin, not Heiskanen, nor even Karlsson or Burns.

He's like a Marner or Kane on defence with even better skating. I feel he gets sorta underrated compared to Dahlin, Heiskanen, and Makar. I think he ends up the best offensively and has a chance to be the best overall as well.

What Julius Honka should have been

Gotta say though he's been pretty quiet in the few Canucks games I've watched. I'm gonna need to catch some more

I have a hard time seeing him being better offensively though than Makar and Dahlin. Those guys are always thinking offense all the time and making stuff happen everytime they enter the zone. Will probably be close though

Quickly my favourite player on the team.

Went & saw him live against LA. Just felt like he could do whatever he wants when he's skating up ice with the puck, so shifty.

He's a breakout & zone entry machine, and good defensively too.
 
Was thoroughly underwhelmed by his play this afternoon. Poor decisions with the puck, taking too long to make a play, losing battles defensively, and his skating left me expecting more given his hype as well.

It is absolutely laughable to suggest he'll be as good or better than Dahlin. Nobody compares to his upside or quite frankly the player he already is at 19 years old.

And before people start going on with nonsense about being a homer.... I've been quite disappointed with Makar for the Avs so far as well. He's having a lot of the same issues as Hughes right now. No doubt these kids have high upside and will be fantastic players in the future but both are struggling right now to me.


If anything I think more than ever before it is becoming clear just how hard it is to actually be an impact high level Defender when you're only 19/20 years old. And that Dahlin was absolutely robbed of the Calder last year with the ridiculous season he had at 18 years old.

Watching one game is enough for you to say he is struggling? lol

What will define whether he can become a true #1D, all-situation defender is how he handles power forwards like Draisaitl, who literally pushed him around the rink in their first game head-to-head. Nonetheless, Q Hughes has lots of potential.
 
Already the best defenseman at making scoring chances. Does it at will. League’s too easy for him. Better than Burns, Dahlin, and Heiskanen.

Well, we now know who is the most overrated player in the league.

Had a handful of brutal turnovers today, one of which led directly to him taking a penalty. Regularly beat to pucks along the boards despite his great skating ability and easily muscled off. Takes loads of point shots but hasn’t shown any particular ability to get them through traffic yet. Vancouver as a whole is overachieving so far, and this offensive dynamo is getting first unit powerplay time, but he only has a nothing secondary assist, and then a screened point shot goal and a nice assist in an 8-2 game against one of the worst teams in the league, in 7 games. But yeah, hand him the Norris.

Oh sorry, does this just mean I’m a “hater”?
