Value of: Quinn Hughes

[strictlyrandy]

He’s not good enough defensively but is still really good offensively (Tyson Barrie 2.0 it looks like), but he’s still got a lot of value. Knowing he isn’t a true #1, would the package he could bring to Vancouver be more valuable to them going forward than if they were to keep him?

They aren’t trading Hughes

Lol. This is a pretty bad take. Have you checked his stats or watched him play one game this year? He has been good defensively and is absolutely a #1 at this point. He is the only truly untouchable player on the Canucks roster imo.

Somebody has slept through the entire current season so far and only referencing from the previous year. You might want to do a little more homework before posting.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

More than good enough defensively, and you really don't want to know his value.

 

[Siludin]

Not at all suspicious that a Colorado resident is opening his post trashing Hughes.

Here's a tip to everyone ever making a genuine thread on HFBoards: type as little of your opinion in the title post as possible.

If OP was genuinely curious about Quinn Hughes' value, it comes off as disingenuous if they clearly already have an angle.

We're not trading a #1 defenseman, even if he isn't quite on the level of Makar. He's the sort of player you build around, not trade away for uncertainties.

The 'he's bad defensively' line is incorrect too. Sure, offense is where he really thrives, but he's been solid all over the ice this year. He's +9 on a team that was a mess until Boudreau came in. Last season's Canucks were a tire fire, and his performance wasn't representative of who he is as a player.

He's rebounded so well. This seems like such a poor time to troll and seems beyond petty.

Ryan Graves led the NHL in plus/minus one year, let’s not use that as any supporting evidence to suggest a player is good defensively. It’s a bad stat.

Completely agree with but Demko isn’t going anywhere either

 

[nucksflailtogether]

Not trolling. He’s a #1 D on Vancouver like Bozak was a #1c in Toronto. He played that role but he is clearly in over his head and would benefit from being sheltered a bit. He’s a limited player. I never said he’s a bad player, but he isn’t a #1 D on any team with Cup aspirations.
Don’t accuse people of trolling when they’re not. It’s a bad look on you.

You should watch some hockey first. He plays in all situations quite well. The only reason this thread exists is either his height or your lack of hockey knowledge.

OK, I'll use actually watching games in addition to that. He's a good defenseman, not one dimensional and certainly not Tyson Barrie.

Did you create this thread to trash him or actually discuss value? Because outside of an absolutely exceptional return he's not getting traded. We build around him.

 

[Siludin]

He is clearly a 2c, every bit of logic and common sense says career years like this are outliers. Use that logic and common sense. Don’t troll.

Why don't you take literally any of the suggestions you've given people in this topic and reapply it to Quinn Hughes.
Then go back in time and don't make this topic.

*obvious bait comment regarding Q Hughes to start things off
*location - Colorado

Nothing to see here everyone move along.

i love that hughes lives in the head of so many avs fans as a focal point of their insecurities. it's like he is preordained to crush their dreams one day.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Pretty much. I get that there's always going to be comparisons, but it doesn't have to turn into an attempt to put a player down at every opportunity. Especially with the kind of inaccuracies mentioned in the OP.

The NHL is spoiled for young defensemen at the moment with the likes of Makar, Fox, Hughes, Heiskanen, Dahlin etc. Yes, some will be better than others. Makar and Fox look incredible. But it doesn't make Hughes a bad player, and both the stats and eye test show that he's a #1.

 

[Patagonia]

VAN fans praised Hughes as being much better than Makar. It's was never close and realistically, it doesn't matter QH is a very good offensive player and better version of Barrie.

Trade possibility unlikely, however, NJD to unite the brothers would offer a great return.

Welcome to the land of "Give us your Franchise Dman on the cheap", Canuckbros.

We here in Sabre land are used to them. Eventually, if you ignore them, they go away.

It is the wildest phenomenon
Vancouver doesnt even discuss Hughes, like literally in the Vancouver section, his thread is is over a month old.
and the last 5 threads about hughes all involve colorado fans

He is available for Makar, Fox, Ekblad...so he is not available basically. Hughes is better defensively now than Barrie has ever been also. Barrie .5ppg -6 this year, Hughes .77ppg +9 on a worse team also, not by much as the Coilers are doing Coiler things the last month plus

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

For S&G, Sergachev+Cernak for Hughes

Power hasn't even stepped in the NHL yet.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Canucks fans are going to demand the moon
He isn't worth close to the moon

No deal will be agreed upon. Bam thread closed.

You obviously either don't watch him play or know nothing about hockey.

His defensive game is actually very good.

Colorado fans have the worst takes on Canucks players, especially Hughes. imagine being this clueless about a player and for some reason making a thread asking about his value.
