I mean, I just said you declared a rookie Hutson to score the same as Hughes. You refute that?
Two extremely skilled young defensemen who were drafted in the same draft just 6 spots apart. Who is better now and who will become the better player in the future? Since being drafted: Quinn Hughes 2018-19U. of MichiganBig-10325283316-2 2018-19 Vancouver Canucks NHL 5 0 3 3 2...

Here you were adamant that Dahlin has always been better and will always be better than Hughes, and that it’s not even close.
Hutson is a luxury player. I can see how it works for him, but I can also see how it doesn't. He's really most comparable to Quinn Hughes, but with better defensive play and worse skating. I've stopped comparing him to some other smaller defensemen that have panned out like Spurgeon or...

Here’s a thread where you call Hutson a better defensive Hughes, but suggested Hutson needs to be babysat, implying that’s an even stronger case for the defensively “inferior” Hughes.
I like this. A few things I disagree with. I think Carlson is going to be there in some capacity. Given Jones is already there, hopefully it’s as 3RHD, and Jones can be the 7D. That probably means Pesce is 8D, so either he completely misses out or we are allowed 8 and maybe Jones is 8D with...

Here’s a post where you say you can’t win with Hughes style of hockey as it’s not “effective”, even though it’s entertaining.
IMO DeBrincat is a lock due to his talent alone, never mind he plays on the same line with Kane. Matt Tkachuk playing on the RW now with Gaudreau makes him a lock. Gaudreau can find chemistry with anyone, M Tkachuk really isn't that good. Debrincat is talented but he's pretty inconsistent...

Here’s a thread where you said Team USA doesn’t need a player like Hughes.
2D, wouldn’t be shocked if he develops into a 1D though. Him and Makar, to an extent Miro, need defensive dmen to be the elite rover types that they are.

Here’s a take where you called his play as lacking hockey sense and puck management. This one is baffling to me having seen Hughes play his entire career and these are among his strengths.
I'll take the guy who's already a top D in the league, but this poll's not really fair to Seider until he has a chance to prove himself in the NHL.

In this thread you lumped Hughes in with Karlsson and Barrie and implied he’s unable to control the game when he’s on the ice like Fox. The numbers last season suggest Hughes does exactly that.
No, thats not right. This idea that Makar projects to have a better career is faulty. Even despite Dahlin having some troubles the past few seasons, which I put almost entirely on poor coaching, at each age he's been better than Makar. He's been better than all these young defensemen at each...

Here’s a post where you call him terrible defensively and not comparable again to Dahlin.
this isn't based in reality. at all. you're just claiming stuff that isn't even accurate. here's a glimpse of his last year's numbers: Truth By Numbers: Quinn Hughes becoming one of the NHL's best defencemen - Sportsnet.ca but super fun "i told you so" post ? aren't you in bed for his games...

Here you are again saying he’s among the worst defensively in the entire NHL.
Who’s better? Edit: Overall so like now and future

Here’s a post where you say there’s a tiered difference between Quinn and his brothers.
People get excited about their prospects, and later take a second look. I don't think that is overrating at all.

This entire thread is riddled with your arguments as to why Hughes is the most overrated prospect.
RIP Quinn Hughes I'd place him 8th right before Bouchard.

Here’s a thread where you took a number of defenseman before Hughes.
Who's the better prospect?

You declared Brannstrom better than Hughes.
As if Canucks’ fans weren’t running a victory lap based on Chabot having a few bad games on what looks to be a historically bad Sens roster for the last few pages? Give me a break. The biggest problem is not even the roster, the defensive structure/coverage is not NHL level. I had my doubts...
forums.hfboards.com
You said Chabot is better and that Hughes isn’t a number 1 D.
Sandin with 14 pts in 30 AHL games is pretty impressive

Here’s you saying a number of defensemen will have Norris votes before Hughes ever will.
