@WillyH5588@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2 Yes that's completely normal,Hughes plays top pairing defence with top unit forward group since start of season,those 5 players have had a blistering start,but it will drop off like the rest of the fiyrsome
@canucks5254@pete_gas@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2 Past 2yrs Rasmus Dahlin has entered superstardom getting better every game,he is now a point per game player & great Defensively,he is 1st unit PP & pk
@canucks5254@pete_gas@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2 Not a chance since you have a lot of learning when it comes to evaluating player,Dahlin entered NHL straight from junior as 18 year old, Hughes had only played a handful of games by the time he was 20,Dahlin is 6 months younger than Hughes.
@canucks5254@pete_gas@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2 Every GM in the NHL would take Rasmus Dahlin over Quinn Hughes in the draft,he went wire to wire as the Best Defenceman in 2018 draft,Dahlin is a generational Defenceman,one of the best in last 60 yrs,he is just entering prime yrs,I see 5 Norris Trophies in his future.
@canucks5254@pete_gas@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2 Yeah that's what they usually say about SUPERSTAR Offensive DEFENCEMAN the likes of Bobby Orr,Paul Coffey,Erik Karlsson..etc,there offence was their Defense, can't get scored on if you have the puck 80% of the time When you are on the ice.
@canucks5254@pete_gas@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2 Karlsson just won his 3rd Norris & first 100+ points season,Hughes will never do 1 of those things,I love Hughes but he will never be mentioned in same breath a the great dnen of all time.
@pete_gas@trackwanderer@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2@JuggyJag Hughes is not a top 10 Defenceman in the NHL & I have been a die hard Nucks fan 52 yrs,he is a top 20 Offensive Defenceman,but he isn't great without the puck,a lot to do with that is strength & size.
@pete_gas@trackwanderer@Kokonaut76@harmandayal2@JuggyJag Pete Edwards it's only because you're a Canucks fan,you would say the same for the best Dmn on every team of you were a fan,take goggles off & look at big picture.
