They all have been fairly poor and prone to turning the puck over

As for Jack Hughes he has been the best US forward and argueably the best player in the game. He doesn't need to get bigger because he is already better then everyone else.

I'm going to disagree. I like what I've seen from Keane and Samuelsson, even Kemp hasn't been bad.

Agreed

It would be easier if people arent practicing their propoganda before the actual world juniors starts.

Jack Hughes needs to put on weight, otherwise players much better than Ginning are going to physically destroy him a year from now in the NHL, especially with that playing style.

Of course he needs to get stronger, but that's a weird prompting event for the comment. Most players when they're bodychecked straight on long after having the puck go down, regardless of the opposition. It's why it's a penalty.
 
Lets start over with no bias and enjoy watching some hockey in the summer. :cheers:
 
One thing i really like about tkachuk is the guy gives his all every shift, nasty player, always talking shit, cross checking slashing

The second action was a penalty. The first action, Ginning whose only a year older than him outmuscled him to stop Hughes from going right around him. With the way he plays, he's going to be hit a lot like how Ginning hit him, whether its from a penalty or legal hit. He got absolutely destroyed on that play, and the same thing happens to him legally rather often. With less space in the NHL and stronger players, its going to be to an even bigger degree.
 
Brady Tkachuk is Gabe Landeskog. Going to contribute offensively but not be a PPG player or anything while playing a similar gritty and solid all around game. An unlikely but still possible projection on the upper end would be Benn but I doubt he'll be that good offensively.

I agree, he needs to get stronger. But you're laying on the hyperbole pretty thick.
