Just waking up on Saturday morning here, wow what a huge win for the Canucks, great pick!!! Kid is an all-world skater and so skilled.

Atta boy Jimmy!!!

Don't you know, he's clearly going to ditch the team after a few years

Leafs take Sandin.
We know they need D but keeping it out the net is what they need more.

And if little brother gets drafted by say.... Chicago Quinton now has the ability to wait out the three years and then sign with whatever team his brother is drafted by. Same scenario just reversed

You are so clueless it’s infuriating

Who is that kid? I thought Shanny was the GM.

Do you know Hughes grew up in Toronto? And was an exceptional talent his whole life. He is likely done in college. Star players don’t play 4 years of college.
- CanuckDon

I hope he is...... I hope he signs tonight after the draft

Hasn't happened....so you're saying there is no risk at all? No need to be concerned? Ok you take that route. All I'm saying is it's a risk until he signs
- Bullfrog77

Do you stay in your house all day because you might get hit by a car if you go out?

He dominated the NCAA as an 18 year old. Wtf would he play college until he is 22? Cause he hates Vancouver?

Ha yeah they should never draft college kids or college bound kids like Boeser, they might refuse to sign LOL!

And if little brother gets drafted by say.... Chicago Quinton now has the ability to wait out the three years and then sign with whatever team his brother is drafted by. Same scenario just reversed
- Bullfrog77

So he spends three more years in college not getting paid and watching his younger brother play pro?

“I’m thrilled right now. I didn’t think I’d slip past Vancouver. If there was a spot I wanted to pick, it was Vancouver.” - Hughes

The interview/media scrum with him is up on the Canucks Twitter page – pretty good.

Wait the NHL out 3 years just to play with his little brother? Give it a rest. If he chooses it will be because he wants to go to a team that is well established in the USA more likely than your insecure fantasies.


I bet he signs for this season.

Not in order but quickly, Veleno, Aki Thomas, Bergggien, Wise,
- boonerbuck

Add in if available Woo Addison Wilde & there are more yet

You are so clueless it’s infuriating
- CanuckDon

Yes.... no one could possibly connect those dots...

I hope he is...... I hope he signs tonight after the draft
- Bullfrog77

Dude. 50% chance be signs this summer, 50 % chance he signs next summer. He is way to talented to waste several years of his career in college

Detroit just got a hell of a lot better.

Good pick for Benning, not getting this whole he won’t sign here because he’s American and staying in college. But the same was said of Boeser and Gaudette, much more hysteria with Boeser but I’m having a hard time understanding the hysteria on bloody draft day

Do you stay in your house all day because you might get hit by a car if you go out?
- CubanBuffet

Wow ... it's amazing how fast you guys resort to childish personal attacks when one doesn't conform to the lemming mantra

He's the D I ranked #2.
- boonerbuck

In a draft with Dhalin. Who is in a completely different realm than every other player in this draft.

He's going to help this team. His iq and skating ability are off the charts.

It's a tremendous pick.

Wings get Zadina & Veleno...pretty good

Who went 29 again?

Nvm, good pick for them.

Detroit just got a hell of a lot better.
- manvanfan

That guy in a Red Wings Jersey just makes too much sense.

He's going to thrive there for sure.

Did it ever occur to you that he wants to finish school, get his degree? Boeser said he was going to stay the full four years but the family was in a money crunch

Detroit paper says he turns pro now.
- Bettmanhatesus

i can see it. especially on this team. the worlds were a really good sign.

- Bullfrog77

Hughes has no interest in finishing school. He wants to play pro as soon as possible
