Player Discussion Quinn Hughes, Pt. VII

[Nomobo]

Imagine Quinn Hughes on a good team.

Not difficult, his team last year.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughes

I'd love to see Hughes' deadpan expression in response.

 

[Kryten]

This should be the Hughes chant. Pass it along

Cheers.

Really don't want to get into all the Sabres drama. Total, seemingly endless shitshow. It will end eventually.

Best of luck to the Canucks. Easy team to like.

You responded to AI.

I can't believe that he's somehow playing even better than last season, a season where he was the best defenceman in the NHL.

Last season he finished 15th in NHL scoring while playing alongside a 103 point player, an 89 point player and a 73 point player.

This season his highest scoring teammate is on pace for 67 points. And he's still 15th in NHL scoring. He's carrying significantly more of the offensive load and still producing at an elite level.

We haven't seen a team so reliant on a single defenceman since prime Karlsson.

Don't forget, doing it largely without being on a super pairing alongside Hronek.

What I find strange is that there weren't too many signs that he improved heading into the season.
