Quinn Hughes is like Torey Krug except he is worse defensively and not as good offensively. Also Krug will actually get physical and battle for pucks at times, Quinn does not battle, especially not on the boards.

He might be the most fun player to watch on the Canucks, even ahead of Petey's dangles.
His skating gives him the ability to rush the puck and enter the zone in a way we haven't had before. In the offensive zone, he is like a rover, always moving and creating chances every time he has the puck.
He has good stickwork defensively and isn't afraid to go to the dirty areas, but definitely gets outmuscled by bigger, stronger players (Draisatl). I think he has the potential to be the best puck-moving offensive D in the league, but his overall ability to become one of the best overall defensemen in the league depends on how well he adapts his defensive game to bigger, stronger players.
I am super excited to have him on the Canucks, him and the rest of our young core give us the potential to have our best team since 2011, and maybe our most exciting team since the WCE days.

wtf, this is the most bizarre post I have read today.
Q Hughes has been dominating defensively, look at his advanced stats they are near the top of the league right now.
In regards to his play style, yes he is one of the most unique defenceman in the league. He's a breakout, transition machine and is constantly creating offensive pressure. He's a franchise defenceman in the making.
MY TEAMS YOUNG DEFENSEMAN LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN QUINN HUGHES!!!!
ya i'm not impressed with that McDavid guy either. Didn't get a point last night so he must be trash

You what, now? This is the most BS cop-out argument ever. I give you my word I watched those games. What do you want, a portfolio of evidence?
I love HFBoards. I just wish more members actually understood what a discussion is and were capable of forming any kind of functional argument whatsoever.

Dahlin creates an absolute shit ton of scoring chances and pretty much everything he does looks effortless...have you seen him play?
You started off by posting "This guy gets PP1 minutes" implying that he's been getting them all year. How many defensemen goals are not screens?

You want some type of exchange yet you really just want someone to respond with what you want to hear.
I do agree the Canucks are over achieving.
Im all for meaningless arguments but we all know that predicting who will be the best defensemen of Dahlin, Makar, Hughes and random finn hype train.
Hes really not. Hes average defensively, people crap on Erik Karlsson but when he was in Ottawa he was a lot better defensively than Carlson was.

Quinn hughes is abit overrated at this point.
No he is not better than dahlin.
No he is not better than dahlin.
I don’t think he’s even close to being nearly as good as Dahlin. But he’s a fun player to watch.

Every major site says he’s at least 6 feet and 200 pounds. Height aside, he’s not an ectomorph like Hughes is.
Sam Girard and Torey Krug, while not elite but very good are 5’10 or smaller

I said the entire game and especially when it mattered (last 3 minute). All I see is Quinn and Calder is the same sentence on here and the kid looks like a very average dman to me. Nothing special. Middle pairing at best. Hell kid couldnt even make the PP1 on a pretty garbage Canucks team. Then went 0-6...

When all you see is Quinn Calder and his own personal threads, yes, we expect a ton more.
