Quinn Hughes Mega thread: Top in points, Norris consideration, MVP and Canucks fans hearts

[Three On Zero]

I still don't think that Hughes is any better offensively, but Dahlin can definitely reach the mentioned point totals.

We'll see how the season plays out.

Same could be said for Hughes reach Dahlins level of defence

There's no bigger insecurity in the NHL right now than Avalanche fans bringing up Makar whenever Quinn Hughes is mentioned.

Okay? Of the two players, which one has already won the trophy this whole thread is about? Or do you just want to have a Norris conversation that excludes Makar? He would need to miss a significant amount of games to not be in the discussion.

Why the snark?

I just said Hughes has every reason to be considered a frontline Norris candidate. What’s so hard to understand about a nuanced evaluation of players? Why does “hey here’s a difference between these two” mean I’m taking a shot at Quinn?

It’s is disengenious to say Hughes is too small and weak to win the Norris. That’s a dumb take for sure.

It’s equally disingenuous to throw up “5-10 vs 5-11, why doesn’t anybody say this about the other player” when it is very clear on ice there is a difference in their physicality.

I think the bigger point is neither have the size to take on bigger forwards physically.

There's no bigger insecurity in the NHL right now than Avalanche fans bringing up Makar whenever Quinn Hughes is mentioned.

To their credit as long as they get to say Makar is better they are usually okay with admitting Hughes is good.

Horonek is his partner?

 

[lionsDen]

The world is full of endless possibilities.

 

[Panthaz89]

Dahlin and Hughes are fairly interchangeable

Hughes better on the offensive end
Dahlin better on the defensive end

All depends which you prefer/need

Only got a few more pointss while Dahlin had double his goals +1 but sure he's obviously so clearly better offensively imagine if Dahlin wasn't injured during April last year.

More to being a good offensive player than stat line watching

This reaks of sour grapes.

When it comes down to it, both played the same number of games with Hughes being ahead by 3 points.

Sour grapes to point out flawed logic? OK remind me when 15 goals against 7 isn't a massive gap for D-men.

Because it isn’t, goal scoring is a secondary attribute you want from your defenceman

No especially when we are only talking about offensive skills. Assists have a lot of variance goals do not.

Uhhh, yes they do

 

[Canucks LB]

Quinn is special man

It's clearly going over your head with Stat watching to use as a pro argument.

Yeah a big guy like Dahlin dominating on ice is pretty great to watch too....

Yes, good for him. Rooting for the franchise cousins to succeed in the east.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

I don't think it's a matter of if Quinn will win the Norris, it's a matter of when. Having said that, although he's in the very top echelon of d-men, he has some very strong competition. The d-men in the league right now have probably never been better than they are now, collectively.

 

[Svencouver]

Not can, will

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Not so long as Adam Fox and Cale Makar exist.

 

[DFAC]

3 assists tonight for Hughes

Case in point

Not so long as Adam Fox and Cale Makar exist.

 

[Herby]

I would never bet against anyone with the game sense and skating of Quinn Hughes, it's a fantastic combination to have. It would probably take a 85-90+ point season for it to happen, but again with this player I don't think that is impossible.

 

[Raistlin]

...and he most likely will. A lot on your board is betting under on 70 games played. At this point its a given that he wont be available to the team for 10-20 games each year. Quinn is as 5'10 as Makar is as injury prone.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

The real question is, by how many votes does he win this year?

What a player, o captain my captain.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

He needs 90 pts at least AND he needs some big games when visiting the east coast cause no voter ever stays up past 7:30 pst
