Hughes is averaging 2 minutes less ice time this season over last.

Damn he's just on fire ! Don't wanna undermine what he has done so far this season but he seems to be dominating the Oilers.

He's been dominant every game, not just against the Oilers - been the best defenceman in the league this year.

lol mcjesus is lucky quinn didn’t feel like going for the gordie this game

he would have had hyman stand in for him

That's great for your team !! Still early in the season but he's clearly above everyone so far.

… because he’s scoring so much we keep blowing out teams and resting him in the third

we are all witnesses

 

[DimitriL07]

he would have had hyman stand in for him

Hyman would have stood behind him during the fight and used his hands like an improv acting class.

 

[Bougieman]

He's tied with MacInnis, Potvinx2, and Orr on this chart now.
Only Orr, Carlson, and Coffey have reached 20 points faster.

I remember when the Canucks drafted him, my Dad asked me who he was... who is a comparative player.

I said "I can't really think of anyone, since he's got a fairly unique style of playing, but he reminds me the most of Paul Coffey I guess?" My Dad scoffed and said "No one is like Paul Coffey".

Well, he's not SO different now, is he?

We named him Captain and he went super saiyan on us

First time I saw Hughes skate for the Canucks I thought of Paul Coffey.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

When i saw him at the 2018 men Worlds, i knew he was a keeper, future super star.
how well he played vs men at 18, remarkable. His skating, puck moving even then
was superb.

[dealwithit]

Wtf Quinn thinks he can just put up a casual 4 point performance against his lowly opponents and get away with it

 

[Jay26]

It's actually downright scary how effortlessly dominant he is. You're looking at the McDavid of defencemen in this league, folks. No exaggeration. Hell, take away the points and he's still phenomenal simply playing D.

Too early for trophy talk for me but I do know this organization has never come particularly close to having a Norris winner (Jovanovski a couple 4th place votes I think) and that won't be the case for very long.

 

[HockeyWooot]

He's been impressive, has been since last year and taken his game another level forward this year.

 

[authentic]

12 points in 4 games since I dropped Karlsson for him in my hockey pool

What kind of pool has Hughes just laying around lol.

[Buck Naked]

No way in hell. He's in that 10-15 range of Ds in the league and can't compete with Dahlin, Makar, and Fox because of his size and only knowing how to play offense. Only PDO can inflate his numbers temporarily.

 

[Grub]

Considering he also just made Hronek #3 in D-scoring, he has a big chance baring an injury.

I don't normally respond to really stupid posts, but here we are.

Please don't take my post seriously.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Please don't take my post seriously.

I was just looking at your history and thinking... this guy was being sarcastic, and haven't I maybe seen him on the Canucks forum?

I apologize, Rather than being dumb, you outsmarted me.

 

[Ribbit]

ESPN was right, Quinn Hughes is definitely a top 60 player in this league.
