Player Discussion Quinn Hughes, Pt. VII

[bbud]

I understand your point and I think you haven’t considered the fact we won’t be cup contenders either way and it will dramatically decrease the Canucks games entertainment value.

So I don’t see any point to this.

Why i said better be huge win win trade

With this team neither competing nor are they tanking for the next few years, they are going to be mediocre at best. Players like Hughes is not going to stay around because he wants to win the stanley cup. I believe he would want to go to the Devils once his contract is up and join his brother, and doubt we can be the team that lures Jack Hughes to the Canucks.

With Petterson and Hughes out of the way, we can finally start our rebuild and tank for a few years. After that, hopefully McDavid will start his decline and the canucks with several high promise prospects will be on the rise.

Given our ownership this is pure fantasy. They wouldn't trade Hughes now because Playoffs are the goal. Even if they were going to trade any of the young stars, it'll be for pieces that help them retool on the fly. A rebuild will never happen in VAncouver as long as Aquilini's own the team.

then i dont see why hughes would stay after his contract is up, why would he want to play for a team that is going to stay mediocre for a long, long time?

4 season's left for them to try to improve and make the playoffs. It's not like his deal is up this summer.

Making the playoffs is not good enough for players like Hughes, he wants to play for cup contender, not just showing up for a few games in the playoffs.

Well he's got 4 years to think about his choices.

So trade Pettersson and Hughes, and hope that we can draft two players like Pettersson and Hughes..?...Its only taken the franchise 50 years to draft a D man of his caliber...Without those two, you're most likely looking at a 5 year rebuild minimum (not a few years).

While McDavid, declines in Edmonton, you'll most likely see an ascending Bedard in Anaheim or San Jose.

Ended up finishing 9th in Norris voting. Josh Morrissey finishing Top 5 and getting far more votes than Hughes tells me these voters only watch the first half of the season.

 

[Breakers]

I said he deserved to be in the top 10

And he was
So good season

every player above him (except karlsson in first and dahlin in 8th) made the playoffs. the bias isn't against the canucks or hughes. it's against losing teams

Another way to look at it is it takes a special kind of team to miss the playoffs with a top 10 Norris caliber player

Didn’t Adam fox win the Norris while missing the playoffs

Pretty sure he did

 

[Johnny Canucker]

9th May be a bit generous to be honest.

7 goals , doesn’t hit, clear the crease, has a muffin for a shot and not a particularly great defender.

He is a smooth skater with a good outlet / first pass.

9th is generous.

I think he's very good defensively. Not your traditional crease clearer but good stickwork and board play.

Smooth skater is an undersell of epic proportions. He's arguably the best skater in the league not counting McDavid.

9th won't be his best season.

So weird to me our own fans can be such a buzz kill for the players that are actually good.

With Hughes I think it is about liking big burly men. It is utter nonsense.

He has just one flaw, as a result of his skill set and stature. He has a really hard time breaking up a cycle. Everything else he is either good to great at or compensates with his skating and IQ.


But then... Large number of posters wanted EP40 gone after his difficult year.

 

[kranuck]

9th is too low.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Youre a f***ing moron. Stop watching hockey you dumb f***.

He is not someone I would necessarily call an actual person.

 

[ahmon]

should have been top 5. NHL awards is a joke.

 

[Breakers]

Hamilton is too high on that voting

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

9th is too low , I agree..fantastic player...If he played for the Leafs, it would be a different story.

Quinn wont be happy about that, and likes to prove people wrong..He's a quiet competitor.

Thats why he'll be the next captain.

If he was on the Leafs he probably would be 2nd in votes to Karlsson. Hughes gets zero hype outside Vancouver. Since his sophomore season when he played in the Canadian division and was seen by Eastern media to be a defensive liability (which he was), they haven't gone back and reexamined his play. There's an assumption by the media that that's who he is, despite his defensive play being MUCH better now.

That’s ridiculous. Demko put up good not great numbers on a terrible Canucks team and that didn’t go unnoticed. People recognize his game.

No one has it out for us, I really don’t think our players are being underrated. Another season like this from Hughes and he will surely climb the rankings
